Temporary Employees - ACA Information

With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, all non-permanent employees are required to report hours worked. This procedure will be required for all exempt temporary employees who are not the “Instructor of Record” and teaching a course at Winthrop. All non-exempt employees currently report hours worked on a time sheet in Wingspan.

Employees who already have a Winthrop e-mail account should access their timekeeping report through Wingspan with their current network Username and Password. The Username is the part of the e-mail address prior to the “@winthrop.edu”

If you do not have a Winthrop account, complete this form to request one.

Entering work hours on Wingspan

  • Login
  • Go to the Home tab
  • In the section labeled "Channels", select the link labeled “Time or Leave Entry”.
  • There will be a separate link for each position that requires hours tracked for Affordable Care purposes. A new link will show up each pay period, one for the 1st – 15th and one for the 16th through the end of the month. To open the reporting period, select the word in the Status column.
  • Select the "Enter Hours" link to add actual hours worked in the "ACA Hours" row. 
  • Hours should NEVER be entered on a date that you did not work.
  • Save each day's entry.
  • Do not "Submit" the report until you have completed all work hours in that pay period.

ACA Leave Report

Submitting Hours Worked

At the completion of the pay period, submit your Report for approval by your supervisor. To do so, click on the “Submit for Approval” button once you have completed recording all hours worked for each day in the report period. If you submit your report in error and need to retrieve it, contact your supervisor immediately and they will be able to return it to you. If you wait until after the “Submit By Date” has passed, you will not be able to submit the report on your own.  If you receive an error message or have further questions, please e-mail hrhelp@winthrop.edu or call the Office of Human Resources at 803/323-2273 for assistance.
Notes:

  • Disregard messages about "insufficient leave", as you are recording actual work hours and not reporting leave taken.
  • Timekeeping records processed as “Leave Reports” in Wingspan have no effect on compensation for your position. Time entered here is for the purpose of recording work hours for insurance eligibility purposes.
  • You will receive automated e-mails from HRHelp if you fail to submit your report on time. Please submit all reports each pay period, even if you did not work any hours. In the event that you did not work, please enter in the Comments section “No hours worked this period”. Please refer to the calendar for more details on deadlines.
