New Payroll Schedule
To ensure staff and faculty changes are processed in a timely manner, the payroll schedule deadlines will change effective with the first biweekly February and February monthly payrolls. This change will shift all payroll deadlines approximately two weeks earlier than the current schedule and will be a permanent change. The new payroll schedule is posted on the
Human Resources site.
OneUSG Blackout Dates and Holiday Payroll Deadlines
Due to a OneUSG upgrade, UWG will experience a blackout period during the month of December.
Friday, Dec. 21 at 5 p.m. through Thursday, Dec. 27 at 7 a.m.
During this blackout period, the campus will not have access to the OneUSG system. This includes all of employee self-service and manager self-service (absence requests and approvals, timesheets, web-clock, direct deposit changes/review, reports to changes, etc.) HR/Budget/Payroll will not have access to view OneUSG to assist with questions or enter any data changes in OneUSG. However, physical timeclocks will continue to function as normal.
All time and absences for the payroll period of Dec. 16-29 will need to be entered and approved on Thursday, Dec. 27 (if not approved prior to blackout date of Dec. 21). It is recommended that time sheets are pre-populated and approved prior to the holiday break, Friday, Dec. 21, before 5 p.m. If you will have Federal Work Study students working during this time, please contact Payroll for an alternate solution.
December monthly payroll absence approvals will be due Monday, Dec. 17, for the pay date of Dec. 31.
As a reminder, Monday, Dec. 31, is a reduced services day. The institution will be open on this date. However, we will operate on a reduced level. Annual leave and comp time will be granted at the discretion of the supervisor.
The revised payroll schedule is available on the
Human Resources website.
