The SSO Payroll Team supports client units with the following pay and timesheet services, including Time and Reporting System (TRS) services:

TRS Hints

• If you use a timekeeping system other than TRS, please check with your supervisor or departmental business manager regarding updates.
• Timesheets are automatically generated based on unit participation and UCPath commitment.
• Generally, it takes approximately 7-10 business days, after the date of hire, or UCPath change, for a TRS timesheet to be available for use. 
• All TRS timesheets require a primary and back up supervisor. Depending on the employee bargaining unit, some timesheets may require a work schedule.

Employee One Time Payments

The SSO Payroll Unit will process "Pre-Approved" One Time Payments for employees in client units.

Examples of One-Time Payments are:

• STAR Awards
• Honorariums

Approval documentation must be attached to the request in order for SSO Payroll to process the payment. All employee payments will be processed on the employee's regular pay cycle (Biweekly or Monthly).

To submit a request for processing:

In order for SSO to process payments by the requested date, it is recommended that the requests be submitted at least 15 days prior to the requested pay date. Please include employee ID numbers whenever possible. Please refer to the 2024 SSO Processing Schedule for further details.
