The Time Reporting System (TRS) is a web-based time reporting system. TRS is designed to collect employee work hours, acquire supervisor's approval, and provides a platform for wok time to be loaded into the UCPath system.
TRS utilizes the UC time and attendance business rules to capture all hour types including work hours, vacation, sick, comp time used, leave without pay (LWOP), voting, and jury duty. TRS also computes overtime, shift differential, and holiday pay.
