Explains the purpose of the TechMission Corps timesheet system, the categories of hours in which members can serve, and how to login and use the online timesheet system to review members' timesheets. Contains audio.

1. Timesheet Process for TechMission Corps Site Directors

2. Purpose of System Each week members have to submit the hours that they have served to TechMission Corps, so ultimately they can be counted by AmeriCorps. Prior to TMC's review, though, the member's hours must be reviewed by their site director. We've created an online system for doing this review.

3. How It Works (Overview) Member logs in & records hours, either daily or at the end of the week. We've told the members to do it daily, to keep better track. You receive email notifying you of a new timesheet for review. You log in, and go to the timesheet. You verify the hours in three categories (Total AmeriCorps, Training, Fundraising), then type your name to sign, and submit to TMC. If you don't believe the member's hours are accurate, write a note explaining why, and request correction. See the next slide for an explanation of the categories of hours. TMC reviews the timesheet, either approving or requesting member correction. If approved, it will then show up as an approved timesheet.

Once you've entered your username & password, you will have access to review member timesheets.

10. 1d. (Recommended) Change password. The password you receive in your email is automatically generated. We recommend that you change your password to something you can remember. You can do this after you log in for the first time, as shown on the following slides.

14. 2. View the List of Timesheets & See Member Progress When you first log in, you will be on the Review Timesheets page. This page shows all the timesheets submitted by the members that you manage, grouped by category. The ones that you need to approve will be in the orange Timesheets Needing Site Director Approval box at the top. If there are none, then there is nothing you need to do at this time. At the bottom of the screen, you can see statistics on the progress of the members you manage.

You will also be able to see any corrections that TMC requested, if you are looking at a timesheet that a member still needs to correct. Click "Review More Timesheets" to go back to the Review Timesheets page.

27. 6. Log Out of the Timesheet System Every page of the timesheet system has a Logout link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. You should log out after using the timesheet system, so that no one else can access the timesheets. This is especially important if you are on a shared computer (like a lab computer at your program site).
