Early Timesheet Submission for Biweekly Pay Period Ending January 17, 2026
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day Holiday, an earlier timesheet deadline is required for the biweekly pay period ending 01/17/2026. Employees and Supervisors will need to submit/approve timesheets a few days earlier in order to allow sufficient time for Supervisors and Time & Attendance Administrators to review and approve timesheets.
01/04/2026 – 01/17/2026 Biweekly Pay Period
- Biweekly employees are asked to project hours worked (or leave taken) from Friday 01/16/2026 – Saturday 01/17/2026 and submit timesheets to supervisors by 11:00 PM on Thursday, 01/15/2026 as opposed to Sunday 01/18/2026.
- Supervisors are asked to approve timesheets by 11:00 PM on Friday, 01/16/2026 as opposed to Monday, 01/19/2026.
- Although information will be provided to biweekly paid employees and supervisors within the TARS system and through the TARs reminders, departments are asked to ensure their biweekly paid employees and supervisors are aware of the adjusted due dates.
- Time clock users do not have the ability to project hours worked. Employees can continue to clock in/out up until the end of this pay period (01/17/2026). Supervisors will be required to approve these timesheets by Tuesday, 01/20/2026 at 10:00 AM.
If adjustments to the projected time are necessary, supervisors should coordinate with their Shared Services Center or initiate a correction using the TARS “prior pay period adjustment” functionality. A new user guide has been created for supervisors to assist with processing prior pay period adjustments: https://bfs.ucr.edu/sites/g/
Please direct questions to timesheetfeedback@ucr.edu.
Thank you for your assistance in meeting these cut-off dates.
