Improvements to Time and Absence Reporting in Pitt Worx

June 16, 2025

Important Information for all Pitt Worx Time and Absence Module users:

As part of our continued effort to enhance your experience in Pitt Worx, we’re excited to announce that following a brief scheduled outage from June 20-22, timecards will be transitioned to the new Redwood User Interface (UI) on June 23.  

Once the transition to the new UI is complete, all timecards—including prior ones—will use the new layout. To ensure a fresh start with the updated timecard format for the week of June 22–28, we recommend submitting any outstanding timecards from the week of June 21 or prior by 10 p.m. on Friday, June 20. 

This update brings a more modern and streamlined design to your timecard experience—while maintaining all the core functionality you’re familiar with. 

What’s New in the Redwood Timecard UI: 

  • New Easy to Use Layout: The new user interface presents the timecard in a weekly view. Simply select the hours type, task (for non-exempt staff, students, and All-Temps only), and add the associated hours. 
  • View Time Off Balances: You can now view your available leave balances (such as vacation, sick, or personal time) directly within the timecard for easier planning and submission. 
  • Add Comments by Day: You can now add comments for individual days, giving you more flexibility and control when reporting your time. 
  • Copy Timecard Functionality No Longer Available: With the new, easier to use timecard layout, the functionality to copy previous timecards is no longer offered. 

What Stays the Same: 

  • The available hours types and entering of hours will remain the same. 
  • No action is required on your part to begin using the new layout. You’ll be presented with the new timecard layout for any timecard submissions beginning on June 23. 
  • For supervisors – Approval emails and bell notifications for timecard approvals will remain the same. The Team Time Card page will present the updated timecard layouts and have a new look, but functionality will remain the same. 

Updated reference guides are now available on the Pitt Worx hub on SharePoint (through Pitt Passport).

If you have any questions or need assistance, please submit an online inquiry, selecting Timecards under both the "Service Area" and the "I Need Help with..." dropdown menus.
