Attendance Reporting for Part-Time Officers
Part-Time Hourly Officers are part-time employees and are paid on the bi-weekly payroll, not the semi-monthly payroll. Employees who are paid on a bi-weekly basis are expected to report their hours worked and absences taken each pay period. This information is entered and submitted electronically through the Time & Labor and Absence Management (TLAM) system, accessed via the MyColumbia portal.
The new system will have many new features that will streamline time and attendance reporting for Part-Time Hourly Officers and their supervisors. See below the following guidelines on how to use the TLAM system, the training available to you, and other related information.
