Fitchburg State uses our payroll system's self-service module for time and attendance across most employee groups. This provides employees with a secure way to log attendance, receive supervisory approval, and submit records directly to the payroll office.

Time and Attendance Deadlines
Employees must submit their timesheets in Employee Self Service by Tuesday or Wednesday at 12 p.m.. Supervisors must approve all submissions by Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Important: Do not edit your time on Mondays, or after your supervisor has approved it, without consulting Payroll first. Post-deadline changes or Monday edits can lead to paycheck underpayments.

Employee Self-Services FAQs

Your default password is as follows: the first letter of your first name (uppercase), the first letter of your last name (lowercase), followed by the same 6-digit employee ID number and the last 4 digits of your social security number, totaling a 12-character password.
