If you did not work any hours during the week, you will still need to submit that week to your supervisor. Leave the times as zero for each day

At this time, if you are ready to send your timecard to your supervisor, click the Submit for Approval button

If you would like to add a comment for the supervisor, click the Comments button before submitting

You will need to submit each week separately

After submitting the timecard, be sure to watch your email for a message that your timecard was approved or rejected

If you discover an error after you have submitted your timecard for approval, you can un-submit it to make corrections as long as the supervisor has not yet approved, and it is before Noon on the Monday due date.

Log back into the Bruin Portal, click on Employee, Time Entry (make sure you click on the paper icon with the green writing)

Click the right pointing arrow for the timecard that needs to be un-submitted
