Student Timesheets

MyDay, our new cloud-based web HR system, is live.  MyDay improves the way The New School provides key human resources services. This new cloud-based system, powered by Workday, replaces our current, outdated HR systems and functionality, and provides a new and improved electronic mechanism to collect timesheets for student workers.

You will no longer be using the biweekly electronic timesheet submission forms that were found on jotforms. Instead, you will be using MyDay to enter your hours worked in the new system.

To learn more about MyDay, please visit our project website where you’ll find key information like status updates, need to know information, training, and communications.

Regular procedures

Before entering your time in the new system, please read step-by-step guide to entering time in MyDay and confirm with your supervisor that your Student Employment, On Campus Student Employment (OCSE) or Federal Work Student (FWS), assignment have been processed with Human Resources for payment.

Important Timesheet Notes

Please note

• Timesheets must now be submitted each week, although employees will continue to be paid on their regular biweekly schedules.
• Biweekly timesheets will be due for employee submission by 9:00 a.m. on the Monday following the reporting period end date, and the deadline for supervisory approval will be at noon on that same day. 

As a standard approach, MyDay leaves time cards open for data entry only one week at a time. A period work week is Monday through Sunday. Please be sure to enter your time in MyDay on a weekly schedule - or, even better, enter your time on a daily basis, so you won't have to remember your week's hours worked. Only hit Submit once you have entered time for your last shift of the week.

Managers and Supervisors

Please note

• Biweekly timesheets will be due for employee submission by 9:00 a.m. on the Monday following the reporting period end date, and the deadline for supervisory approval will be at noon on that same day. 

• In general, you should be checking your MyDay inbox daily for time-off requests and time entries that require your approval.
