Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I do not have access to JobX/TimesheetX, what should I do?
A: Please request access from the JobX Employer page. If you supervise students in more than one department, please leave a note indicating your department affiliation(s) on the access form.
Q: If I know who I want to hire, do I still have to list the job publicly?
A: You must create the job in JobX, however you can place it in “review mode” which will prevent job-seekers from viewing and applying to the position. You can then hire your students as a “walk-in” hire.
Q: If I have to hire 10 of my students, do I have to create 10 jobs or would it be one job with 10 open positions?
A: You would create one job, and hire 10 students into that job.
Q: Will this system still be bi-weekly? Will we receive reminders?
A: Yes, students will be paid according to the bi-weekly payroll schedule. Payroll deadline reminders will be sent to supervisors and students.
Q: Will Federal Work-Study (FWS) status and balance be available in the new system?
A: Yes - student FWS eligibility and award information is available in TimesheetX.
Q: Is the new JobX and TimesheetX system connected to BANNER?
A: No, they are not connected. Beginning Summer 2024, all students must be hired through the JobX system and time recorded in the TimesheetX system.
Q: Are students who previously worked in BANNER automatically hired into JobX/TimesheetX?
A: No, you will have to create a new job in JobX and hire the student into TimesheetX. This is primarily due to the converting all students to the bi-weekly payroll and adhering to the FLSA requirements.
Q: How far in the past can hours be input?
A: Hours may be entered according to the job start date. For example, a student job with a start date of September 1 would be accessible for a supervisor to approve hours as far back as September 1.
Q: Can I enter time on behalf of student employees?
A: This is highly discouraged. Students will be accustomed to entering their own time in TimesheetX, and must be specific about the hours worked. For example, they will need to enter 12:00-2:00 pm, and not just a generic 2 hours worked. Entering hours on behalf of students creates unnecessary work for supervisors, and introduces possible timekeeping errors.
Q: What does the approval flow look like to get students paid?
A: There is only one level of approval in TimesheetX. Each job can have one primary supervisor, and multiple secondary supervisors. Anyone with primary or secondary supervisor access to a job can approve time in TimesheetX, which will then be included in the next Payroll run.
Q: What should I do if my department is not listed in the employer drop down?
A: Email studentemployment@subr.edu and request the addition.
