Positive Time Reporting

Pursuant to the Ethics Act, employees are required to submit monthly data reports documenting the time they spent on official University business rather than list the time the employee was off work due to illness, vacation, or other types of leave.  Only administrative professional (AP) and exempt civil service (those not eligible for over-time) employees are required to participate.

Administrative professional and exempt civil service employees are required to utilize the iPeople electronic reporting tool to report their time spent on University business.  Please note that this positive time reporting system was created for the sole purpose of bringing the University into compliance with the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. This system is an independent application and stand-alone reporting process. It does not replace the existing vacation and sick leave time reporting system, nor does it bear any impact on the calculation of pay, overtime, leave accrual and usage, or any activities associated with grants and contracts reporting. To this end, you will be completing two reports: (1) a monthly iPeople report documenting the amount of time spent each day on official University business, and (2) a report indicating the use of your vacation or sick-leave time each pay period.

The iPeople report of time you spend on University business each day should be reported in a manner that best represents your work-related contributions to Illinois State University. Traditionally this would amount to 7.5 hours of work per day; however, this total may be higher or lower based on the amount of time spent on University business that particular day.
