WFU moves to NOVAtime

If you haven’t already heard, the University is moving to NOVAtime, a web-based time-keeping and leave management application. This new system is replacing the current time-keeping applications (Stromberg and WIN) on campus and will unify all time and attendance activities for bi-weekly paid staff and students.

Beginning January 1, 2013, NOVAtime will also become the system of record for leave balances for all employees.

During July and August, several campus groups assisted with implementation by participating in a pilot test. The following departments participated: Facilities and Campus Services, Graylyn, Mail Services, University Stores, WFU Properties, Financial and Accounting Services, Information Systems, Human Resources, ZSR Library.

We are pleased to announce that the pilot was successful and that all time clock users and the sample group of bi-weekly employees have fully implemented NOVAtime!

If you are not part of the above groups, when can you expect to begin using NOVAtime? Here’s the answer:

  • Bi-weekly staff employees will begin using NOVAtime on Sept. 29, 2012.
  • Students will begin using NOVAtime on Oct. 1, 2012.
  • Exempt staff employees will begin using NOVAtime for leave management on Jan. 1, 2013.

How do you learn to use NOVAtime? Learning sessions for both employees and supervisors will be held during the weeks of October 2 and 9, and will be available for registration through the PDC website. More information on leave management for exempt staff will be available as we approach the new calendar year.

New campus initiatives support efficiency, sustainability

WF@Work

Launched in January of this year, WF@Work supports the University’s commitment to sustainability, as well as to improving services to employees. The application provides employees secure online access to their pay and benefits information. Because of the successful launch of WF@Work, the University is able to support sustainability through the following means:

  • Discontinue printing pay statements. Employees received the last paper pay statement with the pay date closest to May 1, 2012. Going forward, employees are encouraged to access pay information online using the WF@Work application in WIN. Employees needing assistance accessing WIN should contact the Information Systems Service Desk at 758-4357 (xHELP). Feel free to bookmark this link to the University’s pay calendar to stay informed of pay cycle dates.
  • Discontinue printing salary letters. This year, letters will not be sent to staff employees with new salary information.  Staff employees will be able to view new salary amounts through WF@Work beginning July 2, 2012.
