Submitting PDF Forms
Your PDF forms will be entered in Smartsheet by the Payroll Center staff.
- Payroll will review and process the data in bulk by uploading the information to MaineStreet capturing the form submitter and other details.
- Form submitter and other payment details will be available to employees via Employee Self-Service: How to View Contract and Additional Pay Details
- Form submitters will be able to view the progress of their submitted forms via Dynamic View
A Smartsheet form has been developed to provide a better experience for liaisons who submit paperwork. The Smartsheet form takes the guesswork out of what form to submit since it's dynamic features provides a method of collecting "information" instead of a specific "form". Automated workflow sends the form to your approvers for approval with built-in alerts sent to you when approved or denied; you can also watch/manage your submitted forms via a Dynamic View. Standardization of data is also a benefit. The Smartsheet form replaces the following PDF forms:
- Temporary Appointment - Hourly
- Temporary Appointment - Salaried
- Additional Compensation - Hourly
- Additional Compensation - Salaried
- Stipend
- Dual Rate
- Summer/Athletic Camp
- Faculty Summer Salary (eff 4/1/22)
This Smartsheet form does not currently incorporate the specific features of these forms:
- Teaching Contracts or any faculty payment related to course instruction. See How to Process Faculty Related Payments via Smartsheet.
- Student Worker Authorizations
- HireTouch: this form will not replace hiring requirements using HireTouch

Workflow
Approval Workflow
Approvers will receive email notifications requesting their approval in sequential order. Once the first approver approves, a request is sent to the second approver, etc. until all approvers have approved your request.
HR Partner Approval
It is not necessary to add your HR Partner as a form approver since they will automatically receive a request to approve after all of the appropriate departmental approvers have approved your request.
Once the approvers and your HR Partner have approved the request, the status will change to "Ready". This alerts Payroll to process the request.
It is the responsibility of the form submitter to obtain the appropriate approvals (similar to as if a paper or PDF form was shared for signatures). Form submitters may use the Dynamic View (it may take a few days to get access after you've submitted your first payment request) to monitor and resend approval notifications to approvers.
Steps to update an approver's email address and/or resend an approval request:
- https://dynamicview.smartsheet.com
- Select the Dynamic View-Add Comp & Temp Appts - HR Liaison Edits/Approval which has been created specifically to allow form submitters the ability to monitor their requests, manage approvals and make edits.
- Click on any row to open the Details panel on the right side.
- Review approver email addresses and make any appropriate updates
- Remember that approvals must be completed sequentially meaning that the 1st approver must approve the request first before a notification is sent to the 2nd approver and so on and so forth.
- To resend, change the approval status to Resend (this status will change to Submitted once the system sends another request)
- Save

Archiving Processed Requests
To improve performance and to allow a more automated, sustainable system, requests that are paid in full (work performed end date passed), processed or cancelled more than 90 days in the past will automatically be moved to an Archived worksheet. This will remove them from your reports, dynamic views, etc. For example, a request with a payroll end date of 12/31/21, processed 1/15/22 and not cancelled will be archived approximately 4/15/22.
