Question: Do I need to allocate PUT (Personal Unpaid Time)?

Answer: No. You only need to allocate paid hours in T3.

Question: Will my eTime time card be visible in T3?

Answer: No. You will need to allocate your equivalent eTime clocked hours in T3. If the total hours allocated match the total hours clocked, you will be able to submit the time allocation.

Question: When will my eTime be visible?

Question: Does my manager need to approve my time in T3?

Answer: eTime hours will be visible in your T3 time entry screen (clock system hours box).

Question: Will T3 have a clock in/out button for remote workers?

Answer: You can submit a Help ticket for functionality concerns. You may submit an Application or Password Issue in the Answers system and select Technical Time Tracking (T3) as the application.

Question: Do I need to allocate my hours every day?

Answer: No. You will have the option to allocate your hours every day. The requirement is Monday by 1 pm for the week prior for hourly workers*.

Answer:  Hourly workers have until Monday at 1pm to submit their time. Exempt workers have an 11am deadline*.

Question: Do I have to match my time to the clock time each day?
