Welcome to the Payroll Office

Employees must submit timesheets before 5 PM on the first business day following the end of the pay period. Failure to submit the timesheet could delay payment.

The Web Time Entry Users Guide will assist most employees on how to complete their timesheet. Graduate Assistants will find this Web Time Entry Quick Reference for Graduate Assistants very helpful.

Web Time Entry information and help guides can be found in MyNorthwest.
