Workday Time Entry

The Student Employment Office is committed to providing accurate and timely payments to all Smith students. We operate in full compliance with college policies, as well as state and federal regulations. Student employees are paid bi-weekly, every other Friday, for the period covered from Sunday to Saturday in the previous two weeks.
