Dear Payroll Managers and Timekeepers,
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming change to the timekeeping dashboard that the Steering Committee has approved. This change is scheduled for implementation on Monday, July 7, 2025, beginning at 12:00 PM.
Change Details:
As part of ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and support accurate timekeeping, we will be relocating the Punch tile from its current position (first tile on the dashboard) to the fourth position.
Who is Impacted:
All employees except faculty managers, who do not have access to the Punch tile.
Why the Change is Happening:
The Punch tile allows hourly employees — and some monthly exempt employees — to record time punches on their timecards. During an Office Hours session, multiple departments expressed support for adjusting the tile’s placement to reduce accidental clicks and missed punches. Moving the Punch tile to the 4th position will:
- Place the My Timecard tile in the first position for easier, more intuitive access
- Reduce accidental navigation to the Punch tile
- Maintain convenient access to the Punch tile for those who require it
- Support overall timekeeping accuracy
Next Steps:
No action is required from you at this time. Please share this information with relevant staff in your department to ensure awareness of the upcoming change.

Thank you for your support in improving the timekeeping experience for our campus.
