Your timesheet will be processed as a Retro in Workday and pay out on the next payroll period. Manual checks should only be requested in emergency situations.
First, check with your supervisor to ensure that your timesheet was approved by the deadline. If your supervisor successfully approved your timesheet then you should either contact the student employment team or Payroll Services for further assistance. If your supervisor forgot to approve your timesheet they may determine if they want to request a manual check.

You will need to turn in a copy of the court document showing that you did report in with your timesheet. Your supervisor will need to submit both documents to Payroll Services for processing.
