Did You know? W2s will be accessible after the myURHR go-live
The myURHR go-live is right around the corner on Monday, December 16. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions that may be on your mind. Find more FAQs here.
How will I be able to obtain my W2s after myURHR is live on December 16? W2s for the 2024 calendar year and other past years will be accessible in HRMS until April 30, 2025. After that date, employees can contact the payroll office for copies.
How will I log in to myURHR Workday and UKG? Faculty and staff will have access to both systems using their Active Directory credentials. Direct links to Workday and UKG will be available at go-live on the myURHR webpages, HR website, URMC Intranet, and other online locations. For those currently accessing existing Workday or UKG (Dimensions) systems, your login will remain the same.
Where will I be able to find my vacation balance? Staff will use myURHR UKG to enter time off requests and review vacation balances. It is important to understand that at go-live, myURHR UKG will contain an estimate of an employee’s accrual balances (e.g. vacation, PTO, sick) as of the pay period before go-live. Actual accrual balances will not be available in myURHR UKG until December 31. Staff can use this quick reference card at go-live for information on how to find accrual balances.
Faculty and staff community support sessions
In response to the recent postering incident on campus, University faculty and staff are invited to community support sessions with a representative from the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

The program offers free assessments, short-term counseling, and referral information. Registration is required to attend the sessions. Sessions are open to all faculty and staff regardless of location.
