University Payroll offers time collection and other services related to employee compensation, including issuing paychecks, and W-2 and other tax forms.
Time Collection
Hourly employees are required by the U.S. Department of Labor and Cornell University to record hours worked each biweekly pay period. Each employee must record his or her time directly into the appropriate time collection system: COLTS or Kronos. The department's supervisor, who has direct knowledge of time worked, must then review the submitted time and approve it for payment processing.
Note: Cornell's two time collection systems are COLTS and Kronos. For more information and access to these systems, use the links listed on the left.
University Payroll imports all of the data from both time collection systems at noon on the day after the pay period end date for biweekly employees. To view a biweekly pay calendar, see the Biweekly Pay Calendar spreadsheet, or the Pay Calenders page.
Note: The Payroll office will notify all payroll representatives via e-mail when time collection is to be imported at a time different than stated. These exceptions are usually due to holidays.
