Enter or Edit Time and/or Leave in Axess Timecard

Stanford exempt employees are not required to enter hours worked on their timecards. However, before the end of each pay period, they are required to report, approve and save in Axess Timecard their leave taken during the pay period (sick time, vacation time, personal time off (PTO) or floating holiday). Stanford non-exempt hourly, bargaining unit, contingent and hourly-paid student workers can use the Axess Timecard to report time and leave before the end of each pay period.
