Hourly employees are required by the U.S. Department of Labor and Cornell to record the hours worked each biweekly pay period.  Each employee should record his or her time directly into the appropriate time collection system.  A supervisor with direct knowledge of the employee's hours worked and leave taken must then approve these hours for pay.

 Note: Cornell provides two electronic time collection systems:  COLTS and Kronos. For more information and access to these systems, please use the navigation on the right.

Cornell's Payroll Office imports the time collection data from the electronic time collection systems into the payroll system the day after the biweekly pay end date.
