All time is input via the Employee Self-Service (ESS) tab of myNKU. Academic year faculty will NOT be using ESS time to record or certify absences. Fiscal year faculty (12 month) accrue for both vacation and sick so they will be using ESS Time.  \nWorking time and absences are approved via the MSS tab of myNKU. Reports are available to review via the MSS tab of myNKU too. These reports are designed to assist administrators in managing the time and payroll processes within their department.  \nTime Administrators and managers should ensure that all employees take the INT 100 Introduction to myNKU and SAP GUI, and all new employees will automatically be enrolled in the HR 200 ESS Time Blackboard course. Current employees can be enrolled in the course via a request to the myNKU training team. Visit the myNKU Training page for complete information.  \nESS-Record Bi-Weekly Time – Student  \nPerform this procedure when you need to enter your start and end working hours. Best practice is to enter time daily. Start and end times are mandatory for student timesheets. The system will automatically round the total hours to the quarter hour based on the in and out time entered. Students can only enter time for one week out of the current period. The timesheet can be printed if the department’s business process requires a printed copy. Student time should be recorded every day to ensure the timesheet is never late.  \n1. Log into myNKU  \na.
