How to allow CruzPay pop-up windows

There are a number of functions within CruzPay that require pop-up windows to function properly, such as Submit Timesheet, Time Off Balance and Pay Preview. However, most browser configurations block pop-up windows by default. To enable pop-up windows for the CruzPay site, please find the browser you are using below, and follow the directions given.

Internet Explorer:

These directions are necessary only if you have Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2. To determine your version of Internet Explorer, Choose About Internet Explorer from the Help Menu, and find Update Version. If it says SP2, follow the directions below. If it says SP1, you do not need to disable a pop-up blocker.

• Choose Tools -> Internet Options from the upper navigation bar
• Choose the Privacy Tab
• Click the settings button in the Pop-up Blocker area
• Enter workforcehosting.com in the address field
• Click Add
• Click Ok
• Close the Internet Options window

Mozilla Firefox:

• Choose Tools -> Options from the upper navigation bar (for PC Users)
• Choose Firefox -> Preferences from the upper navigation bar (for Mac users)

• Click the Allowed Sites or Exceptions button on the Block Popup Windows line
• Enter workforcehosting.com in the address field

Safari

If you have allowed pop-up windows for the CruzPay system, and are still having trouble submitting, you may have a secondary pop-up blocker installed in your system. Both Google Toolbar and Yahoo! Toolbar have pop-up blocker components. Configuring these should allow pop-up windows.

Google Toolbar

You have Google Toolbar installed if you see the following below the address bar in your browser window.

• Click the pop-up blocker icon from the toolbar. The Icon should change to

Yahoo Toolbar

You have Yahoo Toolbar installed if you see the following below the address bar in your browser window.

• Select the pop-up blocker icon from the toolbar
• Choose Always allow pop-ups from this site.

If these methods do not allow pop-up windows to appear in CruzPay, please contact cruzpay_help@ucsc.edu

What happens if I don’t enable pop-up windows?

Pop-ups must be enabled in order to submit your timesheet, this is an important step in finalizing your time entry at the end of the month. Enabling pop-ups also allows an employee to view information in two specific formats:

1.  Pay Preview.  This shows you the hours you recorded under different pay codes.  An employee will also be able to see this information on their electronic and printed timesheet in a different format.  Pay Preview also shows calculations for overtime if that situation applies to you.

2.  Time Off Balances.  This shows you vacation, sick, or other leave type balances available for you to use.  An employee will also be able to see this information on their printed timesheet in a different format.

Because you will be printing out your timesheet at the end of every month you will still have access to this data.  Pay Preview and Time Off Balances allows you to view this information real time during the month.  You are not required to access these functions in order to enter your time worked or leave taken, finalize the time entry, and print your timesheet.
