Time Information Management (TIM)

TIM will provide an efficient and effective process to record, track, pay, and report for the time worked and leave taken by faculty, staff members, and student and temporary employees.

The University's current process for recording, monitoring, processing, and paying for time worked and leave taken is generally a manual process. Leave management is administered at the departmental level using a variety of systems and methods which limits reporting and tracking capabilities. TIM will be an important improvement in the efficiency, effectiveness, and management reporting capabilities of our timekeeping processes. Also, internal control issues raised previously during internal and state audits will be resolved.

A Powerful Tool

The system will interface with various existing internally-developed University legacy business applications and eventually with a new core administrative suite of systems which is in the planning stages. Call-out quoteThe enterprise-wide timekeeping system has the capabilities to provide a powerful tool from a time reporting standpoint. TIM offers the University's management the ability to manage time and leave on a real-time basisby providing tools and alerts to allow you to more efficiently handle the day-to-day situations that affect your campus unit's staffing, scheduling, and time reporting. University employees will have immediate access to accurate and current leave data and time worked and the system will provide employees a reliable process for their use.

An Important Step Forward

Implementation of TIM is an important step forward for the University in enhancing and streamlining administrative processes and procedures to provide added value to our staff and budget resources.
