Timekeeping Replacement Project
We are excited to announce a project to replace our current timekeeping system, CalTime. We plan to implement the replacement system by Fall 2026. For more project details, please visit the dedicated timekeeping replacement project page.
UAW Members now in CalTime
As of September 1, 2023, Graduate Student Researchers and Academic Student Employees must use CalTime, Berkeley’s automated timekeeping system, to record their leave usage. The transition to CalTime was part of the system-wide standardization of timekeeping across all UC campuses for UAW members. Tracking time in the CalTime system has enabled additional UAW members (in addition to the Postdoctoral Scholars and Readers and Tutors that currently use CalTime) to join the rest of the campus in reporting leave taken, and in some cases hours worked (applicable to biweekly paid employees), and in approving their CalTime timecard each pay period.
Please review the frequently asked questions for more information about this change. You may also watch a brief video about CalTime for Exempt Employees (Job aid for supervisors). For questions not addressed in the FAQ, please email caltime@berkeley.edu.
Employee quick reference guides are also available to help you get started
