OSPS News ~ Time Entry Mass Approved Report - Jan. 2026 Mid-Month

[LOWRY Timothy * DAS]

On behalf of the DAS Workday Oregon Program
________________________________

Greetings,

We are working towards aligning time entry and approval practices with the guidance in the Oregon Accounting Manual (OAM 45.07.00). Our continued focus is to remove automated approvals of timesheets for the mid-month pay period as communicated to payroll partners in a "Time Entry Review and Approval Follow Up" message on August 13, 2025.

Our shared goal is that all required timesheets are submitted and approved on time each month for the mid-month payroll processing to reduce any delay in pay and build confidence in accurate pay. Based on compliance data, we are implementing a six-month transition period (December 2025 - May 2026)-during which we will continue mid-month automated approvals to ensure employees are not impacted by missed approvals.

A monthly compliance report is being sent to agency directors with unapproved timesheets for the January mid-month payroll. The report, "Time Entry Mass Approved on Run 2" is also shared with Payroll Partners.

The January Run 2 report is available for payroll partners in Workday Drive: Drive > Payroll Resources > Reports > R2 Mass Approved Reports

This report is intended to be a starting point for conversations with employees and managers that are not meeting the time entry deadline that results in mass approval on mid-month payroll processing. Our goal is to address these mass approved entries and help educate staff on the importance of getting time entered prior to the stated deadlines so that we can reduce mass approved entries to zero in the coming months.

Below are links to the Payroll and Time Tracking Employee and Manager Resource Guides in Workday. As a reminder, these guides contain all of the time entry, review and approval resources currently available for managers and employees:
