A reminder that you can enter your time from off site locations at any computer with web access:

The following instructions must be followed to their entirety to insure your time sheet is submitted correctly and you will be paid accordingly with the next payroll cycle


Note: As a reminder, employees can enter the hours this week as "Report Pay" if they were scheduled to work on site in Los Alamos but were prevented to do so because of the closure.

  • Only hours that are scheduled to be worked on a normal work day can be entered.
  • Hours are to be entered under your regular cost code box within your time sheet.
  • Do not enter hours under the Standard Hour box - Enter scheduled hours under the "Report Pay" box of your time sheet
  • You will find the "Report Pay" box option under the listings of standard hours, overtime hours, on call, evening shift, etc......IMPORTANT - Do not try to type in a Report Pay search.  Process:  1) Select Favorite Tasks from your Fieldglass home page or 2) within your active time sheet "add task codes"
  • If you do locate this Report Pay Reallocation code in error and add it to your time sheet, it will be rejected.  This is not a proper cost code to use

  • Report Pay is paid time off with an official LANL closure
  • Do not enter Report Pay hours in a regular non-working day
  • Do not enter Report Pay hours in a day already scheduled off for Vacation or any other time off request
