eTime — time sheets and leave requests
You can use eTime from the same URL whether you are logged in to your work computer at work or using VPN from home, or on any computer or mobile device: etime.wfsaas.com/workforce/SSO.do.
eTime is cloud-based so no special application is needed. When not accessing eTime from within the Ecology network, use the same credentials you use to access your email and calendar.
My Portal
My Portal is your access to all HR apps, including your earning statements. You must be on VPN or in the building to use My Portal. (More information about My Portal)
