Timesheets

Using OnCorps 

OnCorps is the timekeeping system for RISE AmeriCorps. Timesheets need to be submitted and approved every other Monday by 6 PM in order to receive a stipend by the following Friday. ​Supervisors and members have separate web links. 

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 34 hours, 18 hours, or 9 hours depending on the term. 

​If you have started your service 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. 
  • Usernames are the first letter of your first name + your last name
    • Example: John Doe is JDoe
  • 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 hour = 1.0; 45 Minutes = 0.75; 30 Minutes = 0.5; 15 Minutes = 0.25
  • Members cannot log any hours on Sundays
  • Members cannot log hours on Saturdays or federal holidays without the approval of a supervisor ​
