How to Complete Your Timesheet
You will complete a timesheet in Banner Self-Service and submit it online for your supervisor to approve. If you do not submit your timesheet online you will need to complete a manual timesheet in ink and have your supervisor sign off on the hours and send it in on your behalf.
