A: Contact Joemari or Linda. They will need to know the job description. Non-student titles we've used in the past are Administrative Assistant, Editor, and Translator. The hire may not start working until after they have been fully onboarded by Berkeley Regional Services.
A: The short answer is no. They should be hired through the department. If you need to hire someone for a very specialized job, please talk to Joemari or Linda BEFORE you make any arrangements.
A: Please be proactive. Problems arise when the appointment has ended and the student keeps working. Email Joemari before the appointment ends. Your request will need to be in writing. Include the new end date and any other changes you'd like to make including percentage of time or funding source.
A: The best way is to sign the actual timesheet. If you are unable to approve a timesheet remotely, please contact Joemari before the timesheet is due. Make sure the number of hours you are approving and the month is in the email, whether it is written by the student or by you.
Manual timesheet instructions, as well as the timesheets themselves, can be found here.
A: Timesheet deadlines vary by the employee's payroll cycle. Current deadlines can be found here.
If you miss the deadline, please submit your timesheets as soon as possible. If using CalTime or the Timekeeping app to report your hours, then complete the corresponding manual timesheet for your late submission. You will not receive your paycheck on time, and will have to wait until the next pay date.
Timesheets can either be emailed to csstimesheets@berkeley.edu or share_payroll@berkeley.edu. FYI, the latter may be more preferable since they would go directly to our SHARE Team's email instead of the general BRS address.
