Get Started with MyTime: People Manager Action Checklist

Go-live actions are listed below for Campus and UCSF Health managers or their designated delegates, timekeepers, and schedulers. Links to job aids for common tasks are included.

Managers, timekeepers, and schedulers are expected to complete required training. Complete your training path to ensure you are prepared on day one. Be aware of new policies and procedures that take effect when MyTime goes live.

Actions to complete before go-live

Review what’s changing and not changing.

Review the cutover schedule to determine which dates and deadlines will affect your work.

During cutover, some administrative systems will become temporarily unavailable for processing of transactions. To ensure that your business needs can be satisfied, review and follow the key dates shown on the cutover schedule for timekeeping, leave and accruals, and scheduling system transitions.

Find your training path and complete training.

Training for managers, timekeepers, and schedules started on March 5 and should be completed before early access to MyTime begins on April 28.  Your training plan depends on the scheduling solution being implemented for your department (Core Scheduling, Advanced Scheduling, or Advanced Scheduling with Clinical Scheduling Extensions). Select from your training path below:

Prepare your team.

Review the Employee Action Checklist and consider distributing, printing, or posting a flyer for employees.

Step-by-step instructions: Campus departments and Health departments implementing Core Scheduling

Confirm your login. On Monday, April 28, managers/supervisors with direct reports and all users granted the Timekeeper and Scheduler roles for go-live will receive an email with MyTime login instructions. Follow the instructions provided to log into MyTime from any web browser.

A demonstration video is available (MyAccess login required) to walk you through the cutover steps listed below.  This video is meant to be a quick reference and is not a substitute for completing training.

Step 1: Set up manager delegation.

Step 2: Validate your direct reports in MyTime.

In addition to watching the demonstration video above, access the Confirm Direct Reports job aid for step-by-step instructions, including what to do if you do not see all of your direct reports in MyTime.

Step 3: Validate imported schedules / build schedules as needed.

  • Starter schedules for some employees have been created in MyTime or imported from HBS; review what to expect in the Scheduling System Transitions section of the MyTime cutover schedule (see Scheduling System Transitions: Core Scheduling).
  • Use the Schedule Creation Quick Start Guide for Core Scheduling for step-by-step instructions to build your first schedule in MyTime.
  • The migration of some leave types into MyTime is currently in process. Please wait until leave information is fully loaded before inquiring further.
    • Future-dated approved time off requests were imported from HBS, StaffReady, and Clairvia today. To report an issue, email [email protected].
    • We are continuing the process of entering scheduled absences related to open leave cases. You can expect all leaves to be reflected in MyTime by May 16, 2025. Once intermittent leaves are established in MyTime, managers will need to apply time on timecards using leave paycodes available in the paycode drop-down list.
    • Advanced approved time off that uses Compensatory Time Off (CTO) will be imported into MyTime by May 16, 2025. Upon import, schedules will be updated to reflect approved CTO and may require re-balancing of the schedule.

Step 4: Update direct reports in HR Umbrella (if needed). Job aids for completing this step are available from the Roster tab upon logging into HR Umbrella. If you do not have access to update rosters, contact your manager.

Job aids for specific tasks are available at the start of early go-live on April 28. If you need further assistance, plan to join a scheduling support session or contact the Controller's Office Solution Center (see details below).
