INSTRUCTIONS TO EMPLOYEE FOR COMPLETING TIMESHEET

Personal, assignment, and pay period information is pre-printed from information on the HRIS system at the time that the timesheets are printed.

Special Situations:

New Employee Using a Blank Form - Complete the top part of the form with the correct employee ID, name, location, hours scheduled, pay period and position. Follow the instructions under absences for recording hours on days before the first duty day.

Hours Schedule Differences - Because forms are pre-printed as of the beginning of the pay period, a change to your scheduled hours made after the printing of the timesheets will not be reflected on your form. If this is the case, post the correct daily hours worked each day for the new hours scheduled.

What the Montgomery County Timesheet Is

The Montgomery County Timesheet is an official timekeeping record used to document hours worked by county employees, temporary staff, and contracted personnel. It captures daily start and end times, break deductions, regular and overtime hours, job or project codes, and approval signatures. The form supports payroll processing, benefits administration, grant reporting, and audits. Accurate completion establishes payroll entitlement, helps determine tax withholdings, and provides an auditable record for internal controls and external review.

Why accurate timesheets matter for payroll and compliance

A complete Montgomery County Timesheet reduces payroll errors, supports federal and state reporting obligations, documents overtime and leave, and creates an audit trail for internal review and grant compliance.

Why accurate timesheets matter for payroll and compliance

Who prepares and reviews Montgomery County Timesheets

The timesheet involves multiple roles from staff who record hours to administrators who approve and process payroll.

  • County employees and hourly staff who record daily work hours and job codes for payroll
  • Supervisors and department managers responsible for verifying hours, approving overtime, and signing off
  • Payroll and HR administrators who process submissions, reconcile totals, and submit records for payment

Clear role assignments speed approvals and reduce the risk of rejected entries or delayed pay.

Step-by-step: completing and submitting a Montgomery County Timesheet

Follow these steps each pay period to ensure timely payroll and reduce correction cycles.

  • 01
    Record Hours: Enter daily start, stop, and break times
  • 02
    Classify Work: Assign project or department codes accurately
  • 03
    Review & Sign: Employee and supervisor verify totals
  • 04
    Submit: Send to payroll before the posted cutoff

How a timesheet moves through the county workflow

The standard workflow moves the sheet from employee entry to supervisor approval and then to payroll, with an audit record at each stage.

  • Employee Entry: Input hours and job codes
  • Supervisor Review: Confirm accuracy and approve
  • Payroll Processing: Validate, calculate pay, and submit
  • Recordkeeping: Archive signed copy for retention

Common mistakes that slow processing or trigger corrections

  • Missing supervisor approval or signature often forces manual follow-up and delays payroll runs by one or more cycles.
  • Incorrect pay period selection places hours on the wrong payroll, triggers tax reclassification, and requires retroactive adjustments.
  • Rounding or arithmetic errors in totals cause reconciliation mismatches and require payroll personnel to verify source entries.
  • Using inconsistent job or project codes prevents correct chargebacks to grants or departments and may lead to funding audit exceptions.

Payroll Delay: Late pay and employee complaints
I-9 Issues: Form retention violations
Audit Exposure: Grant or program disallowances
