Temporary Employee's Guide
Welcome to UC Temps! Whether you are starting your first assignment or have worked with us previously, you will find information below about:
- Timecards
- Payday
- Employee Self Service
Timecards
Much of the University is currently using an electronic time tracking system, but UC Temps continues to utilize paper timecards.
- Timecards are due every other Thursday by 4:30pm unless notified otherwise.
- Timecards should be submitted to the employee's supervisor or to Staffing & Recruitment, as instructed by the supervisor.
- Supervisor MUST sign card before submitted for payment.
- New timecards will be mailed to the employee's home address.
- Use ONLY the card sent by Staffing & Recruitment. Use of a card from the department may result in errors which can only be corrected by the Payroll department.
To review a sample timecard with instructions on the proper way to track your time, please visit Chalk and click on the "Extras" tab. Note: an active CNet ID is required to use the Chalk site.
Payday
- Payday is every other Friday unless notified otherwise.
- Checks are available for pick up at the 1st floor reception area in Human Resources Services, 6054 S. Drexel from 10am-4pm.
- Checks not picked up by 4pm will be mailed to the employee's home address.
- Direct deposit is strongly encouraged.
