The myURHR go-live newsletter will be distributed through go-live. Please share any applicable news and updates as appropriate with members of your team.<\/p>\n<h2>Timekeeping information<\/h2>\n<p>Among the first tasks for employees at go-live will be entering time worked (hourly) and submitting time-off requests in myURHR UKG.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 ways to enter time for hourly employees<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Swipe at the clock<\/li>\n<li>Use the punch tile (either in the UKG mobile app or via computer)<\/li>\n<li>Enter directly into the timecard<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Managers and timekeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0The same three options for entering time worked will be available to all hourly employees. Have you begun communicating these options? If your department\/unit has a preferred method that hourly staff should follow,\u00a0<strong>it\u2019s important that employees are informed and reminded often so they are knowledgeable about what to do at go-live.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Managers can view in the audit tab of the timecard which method was used to enter time in the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New email notifications:<\/strong>\u00a0In UKG, managers will be notified of time-off requests via an email. Managers will need to access UKG to review and respond to the requests. Timekeepers will not receive an email notification but will be able to view and act upon time-off requests using the UR Time-Off Request Status or UR Time-Off Request Info dataviews within UKG. Attend training to learn more!<\/p>\n<p>Note: Email notifications cannot be turned on\/off at the user level in myURHR UKG like they can in myURHR Workday. If you prefer to have these notifications saved to a specific Outlook folder upon receipt, you can follow steps in a quick reference card which will be available on\u00a0tech.rochester.edu\u00a0at go-live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No more paper exception logs:<\/strong>\u00a0The transition to myURHR UKG will result in the elimination of paper exception logs, and also paper timecards for many across the University, including\u00a0Strong Staffing employees\u00a0who will begin entering time worked in myURHR UKG at go-live. myURHR UKG will allow for paper exception log information to be tracked systematically.<\/p>\n<h2>Happening now<\/h2>\n<p>Managers and others who complete recruiting activities are encouraged to continue canceling requisitions in HRMS that are outdated or no longer needed, and to update candidate statuses to ensure myURHR has the most accurate recruiting data at go-live on December 16.<\/p>\n<p>New recruitment holding period dates and office hours support information will be available later this month.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/2024\/07\/01\/getting-ready-for-myurhr-pay-cycle-alignment\/\">Pay cycle alignment<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To enhance efficiencies during the University\u2019s transition to myURHR, employees holding more than one position at the institution will now have their pay aligned into one pay cycle. Departments\u00a0that are hiring an existing employee into a secondary job should confirm with that individual their current pay cycle so the department can align the second job accordingly. If unsure how to address the pay cycle, please send an email to\u00a0HRSCReqs-ChangeForms@UR.Rochester.edu\u00a0for assistance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/professional-success\/myurhr\/change-network\/\">Supporting the myURHR Change Network<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Due to myURHR\u2019s extended go-live date, it\u2019s important to address participation changes if champions\/super users have upcoming retirements or planned department transitions that could impact their roles on the myURHR Change Network. Changes should be facilitated by the department head in collaboration with your HR Business Partner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/professional-success\/myurhr\/benefits-features\/#key-changes\">Understanding key changes:<\/a> Payroll Accounting<\/p>\n<p>Please see below a few examples of Payroll Accounting changes coming with myURHR.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Current state<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Future state<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Mid-period costing allocations<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Costing changes are only allowed at the beginning of a pay period.<\/td>\n<td>Costing allocations can be made at any time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"269\"><strong>Costing account percent<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"432\">Costing allocations must be in whole percentages.<\/td>\n<td width=\"423\">Costing allocations can use up to the hundredth-place decimal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"269\"><strong>Funding source for vacation payouts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"432\">Vacation payouts occur through a department account payout or through a central account payout depending on circumstances.\u00a0 PTO payouts are paid from a departmental account.<\/td>\n<td>Vacation payouts will be charged to a central account and PTO payouts will be paid from a departmental account.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Summer salary<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>No consistent process for summer salary payments.<\/td>\n<td>Summer salary will be handled in myURHR Workday using One-Time Payment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Effort certification <\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Faculty and staff on grants sign for every change.<\/td>\n<td>Certification for effort will occur two to three times per year.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Additional Effort Certification information, including timeframes, will be provided around go-live.<\/p>\n<h2>Key upcoming dates<\/h2>\n<h3>Now through go-live<\/h3>\n<p><strong>myURHR training: <\/strong><strong>Don\u2019t wait until the last minute to get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Log in to\u00a0MyPath\u00a0to view your training transcript and begin courses.\u00a0Instructor-led trainings (ILTs) and eLearning formats\u00a0are available, depending on roles.
