Keep these guidelines in mind

  • Never submit a timesheet with zero hours.
  • Do not use the “Comments” section. Ever. Please.
    • (It creates a permanent record!)

  • ONLY submit your timesheets AFTER you’ve served all the hours you are submitting.
  • Do not leave weekdays you haven’t served blank: please select “Approved time off”

15 of 38

Some Additional Important Timesheet Pieces:

  • Your timesheets are due on the 1st and 16th of each month.
  • Round down your hours (to the nearest .25; .5; .75; 0)
  • OnCorps can be finicky! You are going to need to refresh, close the tab, and reopen the link
  • OnCorps will also log you out after ~2 minutes of inactivity so be prepared

After you select a period, the timesheet will appear here:

You can choose up to 19 categories per day

Under “Categories” you will be able to select activities from a dropdown list

31 of 38

Most of the time your timesheet should look like this with just “onsite service activities” and you will add how much time you spent on site to the “Total Hours” section

Onsite Service Activities means anything you do at your site/ with your focus list students

Examples:

  • Meeting with your focus list
  • Observing classrooms
  • Attending staff meetings/ trainings through your host site
  • Attending a basketball game, school play, etc. after school

  • If you attend a connection space, a drop down option for a description will pop up for you to select if you attended in person or virtually

If you attend a required training in person with the Alliance, you can include the time it took you to commute there in your total hours

33 of 38

There are only 4 instances when you are allowed to select “Teleservice”:

  • Snow Days/ Cold Weather Days when you host site is closed and you are supporting E-Learning
  • Post training assignments from in person trainings with the Alliance
  • Program prep (ex: reading books/ assignments assigned to focus list students, etc.)
  • Knack Data
