Recording Your Time

Students are required to enter their time worked in the PaycomTimekeeping System.  You will receive instructions on how to register when you submit your new hire paperwork in Human Resources.  You must record your time worked in Paycom or you can use the mobile app.  In order to be paid, your supervisor will be required to approve time worked in Paycom.  Student employees will not be allowed to work any hours after they reach the award amount indicated on their Financial Aid Award Notification Letter.  Once you reach your Financial Aid allotment, Time and Attendance access will be suspended until your supervisor contacts the Payroll Department.  At this point, you should discontinue working unless you are notified by your supervisor.

Students are paid bi-weekly.  Time worked must be entered into the Paycom timekeeping system by logging in and clocking in & out.  Supervisors need to approve time every Monday before 9:00 am to ensure timely payroll processing.

Instructions for recording your time worked in Paycom and utilizing the mobile app as well as student payroll dates can be found on the Intranet through the University portal via my.rockhurst.edu.

Direct Deposit
You can enroll in direct deposit to have your paycheck automatically deposited into a designated bank account. A voided check must be attached to the direct deposit form and returned to the Human Resources Office in Conway 102. You will receive a check for the first payday following enrollment in the direct deposit program, then all other checks following will be direct deposited. Paystubs will no longer be distributed to you after enrolling in direct deposit. You may view your paystubs using the Paycom.

The direct deposit form and instructions can be found on the Intranet through the University portal via my.rockhurst.edu.
