Effective with the work week beginning August 3, 2020, all UT System Administration timesheets will be submitted and approved directly in PeopleSoft rather than through the Employee Timesheet System (ETS). After taking the following actions, UT System Administration employees and managers will no longer use the ETS: 

• Employees must submit all timesheets through the week of 7/27 in ETS by Monday, August 3.
• Managers must approve all timesheets in ETS by Tuesday, August 4.

PeopleSoft Training & Resources

The Office of Talent and Innovation has scheduled joint training sessions to help employees and managers learn how to complete and approve timesheets in PeopleSoft. Please plan to attend one of the following sessions:

• August 4, 11:00a – 12:00p, Teams Meeting Link
• August 5, 2:00p – 3:00p, Teams Meeting Link
• August 6, 10:00a – 11:00a, Teams Meeting Link

How-to manuals, videos and a training session also will be posted online at Time Reporting under Resources.

Many thanks to department timekeepers who have been manually transferring timesheets from ETS to PeopleSoft over the years!

Employees and managers may now view current leave balances in PeopleSoft. Please review the Absence Balance Details instructions.

The FY 2021 holiday schedule has been posted. The schedule includes 13 designated holidays plus 1 floating holiday (14 total). The number of holidays for all state agencies and institutions of higher education is set by the Texas Legislature, although higher education institutions have flexibility in determining the actual days within that number. The number of holidays each year is determined by where the various national and state holidays fall during the calendar week. Holidays that fall on a weekend are not included.
