Projects on the Big Island and Maui, we urge you to submit your timesheets today, Tuesday, August 30th.

If you discover that corrections to the submitted online timesheets are necessary, please submit the corrected paper timesheet with a short note of explanation to [email protected] or fax to 956-9423 by 12:00 noon on August 31st.  RCUH Payroll will manually post the corrections for you.  If we are unable to post the corrections in the 8/16 – 8/31/16 pay period for any reason, they will be processed in the following 9/01 – 9/15/16 pay period.
