New Time Reporting System to Launch in September

UC Merced transitions to a new time-keeping system at the end of September. The time reporting system (TRS) will better position our campus to efficiently meet future time keeping requirements and has many other benefits.

Information sessions and employee and supervisor trainings are offered in person and in the campus Learning Management System (LMS) before the TRS goes live. Visit payroll.ucmerced.edu for updates.
