My Work and Learn
Your Work and Learn section on the portal will be on the left-hand side. You will need to scroll down a
little to view it.
When you get to the “My Work and Learn” section you will see the tab labeled “Time Sheet Entry”. Under
the “My Work and Learn” tab, you will also see your Work and Learn Assignment and your job Status for
that job. You can also view the Time Sheet Summary, which shows the Time Sheets that have been
processed so far by the Work and Learn Office.
Work and Learn Statuses
Hired – The “Hired” status indicates that you have completed all of your paperwork for that
job and that you may begin to input your Work and Learn hours.
Need Paperwork – The “Need Paperwork” status indicates that you have paperwork that still
needs to be completed before you begin working at your job. The most common missing paperwork is
the Employee Contract that you and your supervisor need to complete. If you are unsure what
paperwork still needs to be completed, please email [email protected].
Fired – The “Fired” status indicates that you have been removed from that Work and Learn
job. If you do not know the reason why, please communicate with your supervisor about the removal.
Make sure you talk to the Work and Learn Office within 10 days from the day you were fired. If you do
not, you will be permanently removed from the Work and Learn Program.
Transferred – The “Transferred” status indicates that you have transferred from your Work
and Learn job to another job. Please be sure to accept hours that you worked in your previous job so
you receive credit for the hours you have worked. After you submit the Transfer Paperwork, the Work
and Learn Office will remind you to log into your Student Portal to accept the hours from your
previous job. Once you accept those hours, you will receive credit for the hours that you and your
supervisor agree upon. Do not input those hours onto the Time Sheet for your new job; only input
hours worked at your new job on the new Time Sheet. The Time Sheets should only have the hours
that you actually worked.

Things to remember about time recording
•
•
•
You may only record hours that you actually work.
You cannot work more than eight hours in one day without taking a break.
You cannot work during any of your scheduled class times unless your class was
cancelled or dismissed early. If your class was cancelled or dismissed, there will be
a box on the screen for you to make a note of that reason. (See page 12)
Submitting the Time Sheet
On the last day of the time period, you must submit all of the hours you worked to your supervisor before
midnight of the final day of the Time Sheet. Your supervisor will review and accept the Time Sheet after it
was submitted. To submit, first review the Time Sheet to ensure it is complete and accurate. Then check
the box at the bottom that states the following:
After you check that box, the
button pops up. Once your Time Sheet has been
submitted, you will not have a chance to edit it, unless your supervisor rejects it. You will also receive an
email verifying that the Time Sheet was submitted to your supervisor for review.
After the Time Sheet has been submitted, it will be available for you to view as a read-only document.
Make sure your supervisor reviews your Time Sheet and submits it to the Work and Learn Office through
their portal.
Once your supervisor submits the Time Sheet, it will go to the Work and Learn Office for final approval.
When it has been approved by the Work and Learn Office, you will receive an email stating the Time Sheet
was sent to the Business Office to be credited to your account. You will also be able to view read-only
versions of approved Time Sheets on the My Work and Learn tab on your student portal.

Please review the information on the Time Sheet entry page. Here you will find the number of hours you
have completed so far during the term and the maximum number of hours you can work per term.
A student with a “late” time sheet, will see a countdown of the days they have left to submit it. Late time
sheets may be submitted as read-only within 30 days of the time sheet’s closing date.

Time Sheet was Rejected by Supervisor
A student whose time sheet has been rejected by their supervisor will have 5 days to correct and resubmit
the Time Sheet. The student will see a countdown of the days they have left to resubmit. Submitting the
Time Sheet is just like before. If your Time Sheet was “Rejected” your supervisor will have an email sent to
your explaining why. Please communicate with your supervisor on the reasons the Time Sheet was
“Rejected”. Once both the student and the supervisor agree on the hours of the Time Sheet, the hours will
be then sent to the Work and Learn Office.
Starting the next Time Sheet
After you submit your first Time Sheet, you will need to select the next Time Sheet for the term. On the
left-hand side of the Time Sheet entry screen, click the “View Time Sheet for Term” drop-down and select
the desired Time Sheet for the term.
This is also where you can view older Time Sheets from the term.

Transferred Jobs
Students having “Transferred” jobs will see the following pop-up notice on the Student Portal:
The job’s “Transferred” status will also be displayed for the student:
•
Students are not ordinarily allowed to submit time sheets having 0 hours. However, if the time
sheet is marked as “Transferred”, they will be able to do so. This will ensure there is a time sheet
record for every transfer.

Students with two jobs
Students that work in two jobs need to make sure they input their hours on the correct Time Sheet. On the
Time Sheet Entry screen, the correct job must be selected when inputting hours; otherwise, the supervisor
will not accept hours that are not worked at their job.
Deleting time inputted
If you accidentally inputted time that you did not work, select the day that the hours are wrong. On the
bottom of the pop-up, you have the option to “Reset Hours”. Once you click the “Reset Hours” button, all
hours inputted for that day will be erased so you can input them correctly.

Class Conflict with Work Hours
If you put hours on your Time Sheet while you were in a scheduled class, you will have the message show:
If you went to class, then you cannot put hours that you were in class and working at the same time. If
your class was cancelled or dismissed early, please write the reason why you were working in the box
provided. Once written, click “Submit” so your hours can be processed. Your supervisor will need to
approve the hours, so make sure you communicate with them of why you worked during your scheduled
class time.
Working over Hours for a Semester
A student will see a notice when they submit a time sheet having hours that exceed the maximum hours
allowed for their job. They will be allowed to submit the time sheet.
