Time Entry & Absences

Time entry and absences are entered through Bronco Hub via my.boisestate.edu.

Most faculty and professional staff are exempt employees and paid a bi-weekly salary, meaning time is only entered in Bronco Hub for leave or absences.

Classified staff, student employees, and all other hourly non-exempt staff should enter their hours worked each week every Monday. Time cards will route to line managers (supervisors) for approval.

A few unique groups of employees will continue to enter their hours worked in alternate electronic time keeping systems.

If an employee is unclear about hourly status or when time entry is required, they should ask their direct supervisor.

To add payroll due dates to your google calendar follow the link below.

For assistance entering/submitting and approving timecards, please submit a ServiceNow Ticket.

Employee Time Entry

Employee time entry is due every Monday.

Late time that is not submitted and approved in time for the payroll will not be calculated until the following payroll.

If time is entered late and paid later, this could affect the tax rates.

Overtime occurs after physically working more than 40 hours in a work week.

  1. Enter all hours worked as Hours Worked up to 40 (for Overtime, enter all the time as Hours worked).
  2. Add a line to enter Comp Time Accrued for any time over 40 hours worked (that is not taken as Overtime Pay).

For Example:

If your normal shift is Monday through Friday

Enter your regular hours as Hours Worked in the first line and along with the hours you worked for Over time.

If the Holiday is on a Work Day and you do not work

You are not eligible for Overtime. Do not enter eight hours of holiday time, the system will add eight hours of holiday time.

If the Holiday is on a work day and you do not work but get overtime

Do not enter eight hours as holiday time, the system will add eight hours for you. Enter your regular and over time (Hours Worked).

When using Vacation or Sick Leave and Overtime
  • Leave cannot be utilized if it will result in pay or time accrued in excess of the employee’s normally scheduled workweek.
  • Enter your regular and overtime hours (hours worked) in line one, and sick time (sick leave) in line two.
