| For faculty and staff users of KnightTime |
Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve the KnightTime system and related access. As was shared in the April 1 HR Newsletter, if you have any issues logging onto the system, please contact ITS Techline immediately (see contact information and hours of operation below). Over 90 percent of any log-on issues can be resolved within 10 minutes, if you are at your computer.
Many of the issues people have been experiencing are caused by the use of Java. We will be updating the KnightTime system over the summer, and this updated version does not use Java. The updated version also has some enhancements, which we will share later this summer.
As a reminder, we strongly recommend that individuals who have direct reports review their employees’ timecards on a weekly basis. (NOTE: Approval is done monthly but the reviewing of timecards should happen weekly.) We will be tracking for student employment when the monthly timecards are not being completed, reviewed and corrected on a timely basis, and this information will be shared with the Cabinet. Similar tracking will start this summer with the staff timecards.
ITS Techline contact info and hours:
Phone: 352-8SOS (8767)
E-mail: techline@wartburg.edu
Hours:
Monday-Thursday: 7:30 a.m.–6 p.m.;
Friday: 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.;
Saturday: closed;
Sunday: 4-8 p.m.
