Time and Vacation Entry on Atlas Online Gateway

All hourly paid MIT employees (students or staff) complete timesheets through Atlas.

For general instructions on entering time, visit the MIT Knowledge Base.
For the Payroll Office’s guidance, click here.
For guidance on entering leaves on your timesheet, visit Central HR’s site.

Timesheets are processed electronically in Atlas on a weekly basis. Employees should click on “Full Menu” then search for "Time and Vacation Entry" on the Menu tab to enter time each week.

Time Sheet Deadlines

All timesheets must be submitted by the employee and approved by the supervisor or designated approver no later than 12:00 PM on Monday, or 10:00 AM on Tuesday if Monday is a holiday.

When am I Paid?

Typically, your bank will credit your account on payday on Friday for hours worked the previous week.
