Q: How many days before I get an approval or feedback for my requests?
A: The time frame of your request approval will depend on your Supervisor/Unit Head provided that they follow what is stipulated in your Employee Manual.
As long as requests for time deviation, shift deviation and overtime schedules are not approved, requests remain pending for approval by the supervisor/unit head.
Q: Will I still be needing the signature of the director before I apply for overtime?
A: No. With the new HRIS and the uploaded supporting documents, the approval of the Unit Head will be the only sign-off.
Q: If I will be running errands in the morning is that considered as Time Deviation?
A: No, that will be considered as a “Leave Request”. Time Deviation is a change in time that you are currently assigned to and also with the same number of hours.
For example if there’s a university activity that will require you to go to the campus at 7AM-4PM and your official time is 8AM-5PM, that is considered as Time Deviation.
Q: What time format should I use?
A: Please use military time format, ie. 00:00:00 to 24:00:00.
Q: Will I be receiving emails as proof of my transactions regarding my requests?
A: No, the latest HRIS functions as a record tracker as well, giving both the employee and the immediate supervisor access to reports eliminating the need for 3rd party players such as emails.
Q: Can I follow my change in residency schedule even if my Supervisor or Unit Head has not yet approved my request.
A: Please be reminded that any request submitted should first be approved before your request be implemented. Otherwise, the system will translate your request as
not approved. Example: Request for Time Deviation from 7AM – 16 PM (official sched 8AM – 17PM) and not yet approved, you Scanned-In at 7AM – 16PM, system
will translate this as Early In (not 1 hour OT) and undertime of one (1) hour.
Q: Do I need to login and out using the HRIS everyday?
A: Yes due to the current work from home set up. However, once we resume campus operations, the biometrics are linked to the system and eliminate the need to log in and out using the HRIS.
Q: Can I still log in before 9AM and log out of work in-between 4-6PM like before?
A: No. The work schedule is based on your approved residency. For example your approved residency time is from 7AM-4PM and you scanned in at 8AM, you are required to file for Time Deviation.
Q: In the old system, there was no need to seek approval to change my work schedule, as long as I reported within the allowable time frame and completed the required 40-hr work per week.
A: The new HRIS is very specific and cannot conform to certain flexibilities on some features. Which is why we have to add more steps just to accommodate any policies.
