Important Payroll Deadlines & Entering Leave

As the holiday season approaches, the Office of Human Resources wants to remind you of important payroll deadlines to ensure the timely processing of payments.

• December

  (Updated 12/15/2025)

  With the announcement that we will be closed 12/22 and 12/23, Biweekly/Non-Exempt Employees must submit their timecards and absences by 10:00 am Thursday, December 18th, with supervisor approval due no later than 12:00 pm Thursday, December 18th.

  For all employees (exempt and non-exempt): If you have already submitted Annual Leave for 12/22 and/or 12/23, you will need to withdraw those Absences and resubmit as Administrative Leave.  

  Biweekly/Non-Exempt Employees: All extra compensations (ICPs), personal changes, and time and absences for the pay period from December 14th to December 27th must be submitted and approved by HR by December 18th at 12:00 pm. Failure to finalize these changes by this date may result in delayed payment or non-payment on January 2nd.

  Thank you for your attention to these deadlines. For guidelines on how to enter absences (holiday and administrative closures), please view the Entering an Absence   video or view the ​​​Submitting an Absence Quick Reference Guide​​​.   For guidance on how to withdraw an absence, please view the Withdraw an Absence Request Quick Reference Guide.

  Please contact HR@etsu.edu with questions.

*IMPORTANT – To revise timesheets: Biweekly/Non-Exempt Employees should not make any changes to their timecards or absences after these specified dates. Doing so could cause you to receive an incorrect or no paycheck. To revise the timesheet, please print the timesheet from Voyager, cross out any incorrect entries, and write in the correct information. Both the employee and the supervisor must initial the changes on the printed copy. Then, submit the revised timesheet to Human Resources so the corrections can be applied in a future pay period.
