TIME REPORTING

Hourly paid employees need to record their work time in Workday. Employees should receive direction from their immediate supervisors on how to record time. Employees can also review Workday resources to learn how to record time. If required, temporary employees may need to complete a paper time card during the first week of employment.

  • Time cards are due every other Thursday by 4:30 p.m. unless notified otherwise.

  • Time cards should be submitted to Payroll, as instructed by the supervisor.

  • Visit Financial Services to view monthly and biweekly Payroll closing and pay dates.

  • Supervisor MUST sign the card before it is submitted for payment.

PAYDAY

  • Payday is every other Friday unless notified otherwise.

  • Checks are available for pick up at the Drexel Building (6054 S. Drexel, 1st floor lobby) from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m, Monday through Friday. The employee must bring a UChicago ID or Medical Center ID for checks to be released. The office cannot accept a temporary ID.
