Delegating Authorising Timesheet Payments

The Budget Holders & Approvers listing for each cost centre, as per Agresso (Financial System), is generated on a monthly basis during the first week of each month.

Delegating Timesheet Authorising Process

The Budget Holder of the Cost Centre can delegate the timesheet authorising process for hourly paid employees. To delegate this approval process to another person, the Budget Holder must email timesheets.bureau@universityofgalway.ie with the following information:

  • The cost centre for which approval is being delegated,
  • The staff ID, name, and email address of the person to whom this process is being delegated
  • Delegation period

Timesheets Bureau will update the authorisers list for the specified cost centre and notify the Budget Holder via email. 

Note: Timesheets can't be emailed from a general email address. The email address of the budget holder or delegate must be used.

Removing a Delegate 

If a delegate should be removed from the authorisers list, please notify timesheets bureau to ensure timely updates. Delegates will remain on the authorisers list until notified of any changes.

We hope this information provides clarity and helps streamline the process of engaging individuals for work paid on timesheets. Should you have any further questions, please contact timesheets.bureau@universityofgalway.ie.
