Using OnCorps
(Timesheets)

Planning your hours throughout the year

Members are responsible for ensuring they meet their minimum requirement for hours served. Each member signs a Member Service Agreement which states the number of hours required each week. This number is usually 40 hours, 20 hours, or 10 hours depending on the term. 

​If you are half way through the year and want to map out your hours better, you can use this excel sheet to help.  You will need to know your total number of hours served and your end date before using this tool. 

OnCorps is the timekeeping system for all Iowa AmeriCorps programs. Timesheets need to be submitted and approved every other week by Monday in order to receive a stipend by that Friday. Precise dates are located on the RISE Calendar.  ​Supervisors and members have separate web links. 
  • Usernames are the first letter of your first name + your last name. 
    • Example: Alicia Soppe is ASoppe
  • Training hours cannot exceed 20% of your total maximum service hours
    • EXAMPLE: A 1700 hour term can serve no more than 340 hours on training. 
  • You cannot serve more than any of the following:
    • 14 hours in one day; 60 hours in a week; 200 hours in a month
  • You must submit your hours to the nearest 15 minutes where 15 minutes = 0.25 hours.
    • One (1) hour = 1.0; 45 Minutes = 0.75; 30 Minutes = 0.5; 15 Minutes = 0.25
