The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) participates in a state funded Ready to Work (RTW) program that allows for students to work for external businesses. Obtaining timesheet approvals from external supervisors has historically been a manual and tedious processes. The new RTW timesheet process allows non-KCTCS external supervisors, without security access to PeopleSoft HCM, to approve timesheets electronically. After RTW participants submit hours worked in time and labor, a workflow step sends an email with an embedded link to the external supervisor’s email. This link allows for non-KCTCS users to access and approve the timesheet electronically. This process has streamlined the time collection process significantly for this group.

Join our panel of familiar experts from the Peoplesoft Strategy team to participate in a casual and open PeopleSoft HCM Question & Answer session.
