With the December holidays and winter recess approaching, please remember these early cutoff and approval deadlines for WFS timekeeping (all times Central):
Thursday, December 11, 5:00pm: Manager approval deadline for monthly time off for the November period.
Friday, December 12, 1:00pm: Deadline for amendments to process on the December 18 adjustment pay date. Amendments approved after this time will pay on the December 26 biweekly pay date instead.

Time Projection & Timeclocks
These early deadlines will require employees and managers to project any time worked for December 17-20. Employees who use timeclocks should consult with their manager for additional details, as timeclock swipes will not be accepted after 1:00pm Wednesday, December 17.
Any time not entered by the deadline, or any projected time that needs to be adjusted, can be submitted by a manager as an Amendment (see Creating an Amendment), and will be paid on the December 31st adjustment pay date (if amendment is entered/approved by 7:00am CT Friday, December 26).
Working during the holidays or recess?
If you are a regular (non-temporary) employee whose schedule requires you to work on a holiday (Dec 24, 25, 31, or Jan 1), see Recording Holiday Time regarding your holiday pay options. If you will be working on a winter recess day (Dec 26, 29, or 30), you may use an alternate recess day within 30 days, as approved by your manager; holiday pay premiums do not apply to winter recess.
Note that temporary and other non-benefits-eligible employees are not eligible for holiday pay, alternate holidays, or alternate winter recess days. Standard overtime rules still apply to those working more than 40 hours in a calendar week.
