3. Right-click the Employee Approval cell and select " comment," then type: "@timecards@reliant.org I am submitting this time card" and select the "Comment" button to submit the time card to Reliant's Time Card Inbox.

5. Finally, add the date to the cell below your name.

6. Your supervisor will then need to follow the instructions within the form (see Supervisor Approval) to type their name in the Supervisor Approval Box and to add a comment stating, "I approve this time card for (employee name)."

No Time Card Submitted

If an employee does not submit their time card within the deadlines, that time card will be locked and those hours must be reported on an Exception Time Card. Reliant hourly employees are responsible for reporting their hours to Reliant within the Time Card Deadlines listed above. In extreme cases, Reliant may exit an hourly employee to Associate staff if non-compliance with the time card submission process and deadlines has been a recurring problem without acceptable corrective action taken on the part of the employee. In cases in which the local supervisor cannot resolve the situation effectively, additional regional leadership may be made aware of the situation to assist Reliant with a resolution. 

For example, if the time card with November hours was due by Dec 1, but the time card was locked, a November Exception Request was submitted after that date, it is considered late, and the hours contained on the exception time card will not be paid until January. In this scenario, the employee (and spouse if both spouses are employed) will not be eligible to receive back pay in December (this same rule applies to the payment of reimbursements). 

• We do allow ministry expense earnings (ME bonus) to be paid even with a zero timecard as long as there are sufficient funds. 
• We do not guarantee 403B payments if there were not enough hours submitted to cover it (and if their ME bonus does not cover it).
• We do not guarantee cell phone allowance if there are insufficient funds.

Reliant hourly employees must have submitted a time card by the deadline to be eligible to receive a paycheck and backpay check following the Order of Pay the next month.
