What do I do if I entered my hours in incorrectly?

If your timesheet has not been approved yet, you may login and edit the hours in the web portal.

If your timesheet has been approved, your approver/supervisor will have to login and reject your hours in order for you to make any edits.

If none of these methods work, please contact timesheet@staffsource.com in order to resolve this issue.

I did not receive an email stating that my timesheet has been approved, what do I do?

You may want to resubmit your timesheet. You receive an email stating that your hours have been approved if your timesheet is approved through the web portal.

If there is an instance where your timesheet is not approved by the deadline, you will be contacted by one of our representatives regarding any potential delays in your paycheck.

How do I enter my hours if I work the night shifts?

If you are working the 3rd shift, our system will not allow you to enter any hours past midnight. The easiest way for you to enter hours for your 3rd shift is switching the AM to PM.

  • PTO Pay will be the equivalent to the average number of hours worked during your 6 months of continuous service, not to exceed 40 hours.
  • Once a candidate has fulfilled the requirement above, they will qualify for an additional week of PTO Pay after an additional 6 months of continuous service (averaging at least 32 hours per week, not to exceed 2 weeks in a service year. A service year is determined by the start date of the assignment.)
  • PTO Pay may be used for vacation time, sick time, or any personal time off as needed.
