Each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a brand-new novel. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.

Kick-off your nano project with us! We’ll do games, exchange some mugs, and write for the first hour of November! Snacks will be provided. Please bring a mug for the mug exchange, if you would like to participate.

Important Upcoming Payroll Deadlines

Good morning,

As we move into the holiday season, there will be three payrolls that will result in absolute firm deadlines for absence and timesheet submission and approvals. There will be no wiggle room on the three pay periods listed below, my team MUST start the payroll process at the given times listed below. 

  • 11/1-11/15 pay period: Absence Takes and Timesheets MUST be approved no later than 10am on Thursday 11/16, we have one day to process, audit and confirm payroll.
  • 12/1-12/15 pay period: Absence Takes and Timesheets MUST be approved no later than 9am on Monday 12/18, we have less than one day to process, audit and confirm payroll.  
  • 12/16-12/31 pay period: Absence Takes and Timesheets MUST be approved no later than 10am on Tuesday 01/02, we have one day to process, audit and confirm payroll.

If you are going to be on leave for any of these pay periods, please set up your delegations now. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.  The person you are assigning the delegation to, must already be a supervisor for the delegation to work. 

Just a note: 

Each pay period my team and I receive a lot of emails from supervisors saying they cannot see their employees timesheets.  Please know that timesheet submission from the employee to the supervisor is not automatic.  There is a process that has to be run to move the timesheet from your employee to you.  This process runs every night (around 3am), and then on the second to last working day of the pay period, we run the process randomly throughout the day.  On the last day of the pay period we run this process every 15 to 30 minutes.  However, if you are still not seeing the timesheets, then please reach out to us, and we will troubleshoot the issue.

Please fill free to reach out to me or payroll@shoreline.edu if you have any questions,
