University transitioning wage employees to Banner Time Entry system

From: Controller's Office

Throughout the coming months, the university will be transitioning from Time Clock Plus (TCP) to Banner Time Entry (BTE) as the university’s system to record hours worked by non-student and student wage employees.  

BTE is available within the existing Banner system and has employee-facing processes that are very similar to the current system. After a testing phase was completed in October, the university began wider implementation. Phase 1 includes all departments exclusively using web-entry time tracking, as well as those who have chosen to adopt web-time tracking. Migration began Nov. 1 and will continue through December. A complete list of migration dates and departments is available here.

Employees and approvers who currently enter and review hours worked through TCP are encouraged to attend either a live or on-demand training course to learn how to navigate the new system. The brief training courses are available here under the Payroll tab on the Controller’s site.

HR representatives will notify supervisors of migration dates occurring within each department. Employees should contact their supervisor if they have questions about their area’s date.

Wage employees who currently record their work hours using a swipe terminal (e.g., Dining Services and Veterinary Medicine employees) are not yet moving to BTE and should continue using TCP until otherwise directed by their direct approver, supervisor, or HR representative. This implementation phase is expected in early 2025.  

The move to Banner Time Entry will enhance functionality for employees, supervisors, and managers; reduce departmental administrative effort; and reduce costs to the university.  

Additional information and resources will be shared with employees over the coming weeks. For complete information, visit our website.
