Departmental Approval Queues for Payroll (FAQ)

  1. If the person you will be adding as an approver does not have HR Banner or INB (Internet Native Banner) access then you must complete the form at http://www.slu.edu/services/HR/hris_access.html, and forward it to Nick Hebel (977-2336 or hebel@slu.edu). The field that indicates which departments the approver will need access to should be completed using the Banner Timesheet Orgn. #, list each one separately to avoid confusion.

  2. Once the new approver’s security access has been setup, Nick Hebel will email the username and password to the new approver and notify payroll via timeq@slu.edu so that the Time Approval Queues can be changed. Approval Queue changes cannot be made until the Banner access has been setup. Changes to Approval Queues before the Banner access is granted will result in errors on the timesheet, and denial of access to the timesheet for the employee.

  3. The Department Head or Business Manager should contact payroll at timeq@slu.edu to request a current listing of their Approval Queue setup. The subject line of the email to timeq@slu.edu should contain the Banner Orgn. that is being requested i.e.: D010, Z602, T703. Please note that a separate email should be sent for each Orgn. for which the approval queue needs to be changed.

  4. Someone from Payroll Services will email the Department Head or Business Manager a Time Approver by Individual by ORGN Report in excel format. The Department Head or Business Manager will review and insert changes into the spreadsheet. To improve efficiency, and better serve you, we ask that the changes be made by changing your font color in those cells to red. The changes must include the new Approvers position number, Banner ID, and name (as it appears in Banner).

  5. The Department Head or Business Manager should then email the excel file back to Payroll using timeq@slu.edu and a representative from Payroll Services will email the Department Head or Business Manager once all the changes have been made. At that time you can also request a new copy of the Time Approver by Individual by ORGN Report for your records also.

Web Time Entry

Web time entry and approval is required for virtually all jobs at Saint Louis University. Non-exempt (hourly paid) employees are responsible for daily time entry via Self-Service, entering time-in and time-out times on their personal electronic time sheets. Exempt (salaried) employees who accrue leave time are also responsible for recording daily exception time (such as vacation, or sick time) on their personal electronic time sheets via Self-Service. In both instances, designated approvers are responsible for forwarding timesheets to Payroll via the Web. Contracted faculty, student assistants, and others who do not accrue leave will have their continued eligibility approved by departmental timekeepers in Internet Native Banner (INB) via the Web. Other designated departments will utilize time clocks to feed summaries directly into the Web.

EPAF Process

Authorized employees can access INB to look up departmental employee information, initiate and approve electronic personnel actions (EPAFs), and enter departmental time keeping information (where applicable). University employees can access Employee Self Service to verify, and in some cases update, their demographic, biographic, benefits, and payroll-related information. In addition, authorized employees will enter their timecard information electronically in Employee Self Service. Employee Self Service information is available in the Web Time Entry training guide.

Salary Planner

The Salary Planner feature of the Employee Self-Service product is a Web application that allows authorized administrative personnel to evaluate, plan, and create position budgets for the following fiscal year. The Salary Planner product is populated from an extract of live Banner Human Resources. The extract is held in a budget phase, or planning instance, in Internet Native Banner. The data from the budget phase is copied into to Salary Planner, creating a self-service web personnel-planning environment.
