Once the new unit is approved, it will be set up in the Finance module of Banner and available for use as a Time Sheet organization for time entry.

Procedure

To set up a new unit or location for paying employees:

    Every Time Sheet organization must have a Superuser, Time Approver, and an approval routing queue.
  4. The Superuser assigns people to the routing queue in Banner.
  5. When Steps 1 through 3 have been completed, submit and approve an HR Front End transaction to change the timesheet organization for each employee affected.
