New Employee Not Showing Up for Supervisor in Web Clock


The supervisor's time sheet view defaults to the first day of the period they would typically be approving. If the employee in question was not active on that date they will not display.  Change the date by updating the view by date and then selecting the green refresh button.

Why Do I Receive an Access BGSU Error When Trying to Access Web Clock?


You will receive this error if you are not connected to the BGSU network.

The Web Clock, View Paycheck, and Time & Labor (and any other CSS, FMS, or HCM) tools can only be accessed over the BGSU wireless/wired network or when connected to BGSU VPN. If you are on campus, please ensure you are connected to the eduroam Wi-Fi network or campus ethernet (wired connection) and try again. 

If you are working remotely and have a university device and a VPN account, you may connect to the BGSU VPN to enable access to these tools  (note that all full-time faculty and staff are automatically provisioned with a VPN account. Students, including graduate instructors, do not typically have VPN accounts.) After you have connected to the VPN, you will be able to navigate to these pages.

If you are working remotely and do not have a university device or a VPN account, please contact your supervisor directly to log your time. You will not be able to access Web Clock off campus.
