Recording & Submitting Timecards

For instructions and to learn about submitting and approving time cards in Ignite please visit the Ignite Student Employee training website.  Below are statements regarding student worker timecards.

  • To provide accurate and timely payment, student need to enter their worked time daily and submit their timecard by the established deadline.
  • Students may not “volunteer” for hours for their assigned duties.
  • As hourly wage employees, students are classified as “non-exempt” employees as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act, requiring all hours to be recorded and paid hourly.
  • Student employees are required to complete and submit their time card in Ignite to their supervisor no later than midnight on the Sunday following the end of the pay period.
  • Students are required to report all hours worked, even if a violation of the University policy on working more than 20 hours per week has occurred.
  • Federal regulations require the University to pay for all hours worked.
  • It is important that the hiring manager and the student employee have a mutual understanding of the terms of the employment start/end dates and rate of pay.
  • Following these rules assists Baylor with compliance with applicable federal and Texas Pay Day Law.

This document/website does not, and other associated documents or websites, establish or extend any contractual rights to student employees. All student employees are “at-will” employees.

Getting Paid

Student payroll occurs every two weeks based on the payroll schedule. The weekly student employee pay period runs from Sunday through Saturday. For more information on student payroll guidelines visit the Payroll website.
