Your time is your money. Keep track of it in CalTime.

Daylight Saving begins March 10, 2024

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 10th at 2:00 am. For departments with employees that use a time clock, the CalTime system should automatically adjust time clocks forward one hour based upon daylight saving time (e.g., at 2:00 am the system will adjust one hour forward to 3:00 am), and nothing additional should be required.

CalTime Maintenance Scheduled March 12, 2024

On Tuesday, March 12th, CalTIme will be unavailable online between the hours of 5:00 am and 8:00 am for scheduled system maintenance. During this time, timeclocks will still be available.

For questions, please email caltime@berkeley.edu

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
