Employee Self Service (ESS) Time

ESS Time is in Firefly and is used by BW employees on positive time reporting to record their time worked and leave hours. Time must be entered, released, and then approved by the supervisor (via MSS Time in Firefly) prior to the close of business each Wednesday ("Green Day") at the latest. Best practice is to submit each Friday and have approved by the supervisor by the following Monday. An Org Change Request Form is used to request a change of an employee’s Time Approver.

Access to ESS Time

For departments using ESS Time, the ESS Time role is automatically added to all BW staff at point of hire or date of department transfer. If an employee does not have the ESS Time tile in Firefly, confirm they have the proper security, a university email, and a time approver. See Troubleshooting ESS Time and Leave Access.
