Non-Exempt Semi-Monthly Deductions
As part of UTA’s transition from TimeClock Plus (TCP) to UTShare’s Time & Labor and Absence Management systems, UTA is aligning pay and benefit schedules to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance across the University.
As a result of this transition, your pay frequency will move from a monthly pay schedule to a semi-monthly pay schedule beginning March 1st, 2026. This change supports compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by ensuring that non-exempt employees are paid based on actual hours worked within each pay-period.
Under the new pay schedule:
- This change will not affect your total annual compensation.
- Effective March 2026, you will start receiving two paychecks per month (24 per year).
- Benefit deductions will be taken from the second check of each month (pay period 1st-15th).
- For your reference, the UTA pay schedule is found here:
We encourage you to:
- Review your personal budget and automatic bill payments to align with the new pay schedule.
- March 2nd, 2026, paycheck will be a monthly paycheck paying you for the month of February including February's benefits deductions.
- March 20th, 2026, will be your first semi-monthly paycheck and will include the benefits deductions for the month of March.
- Verify your tax withholding and direct deposit information in UTShare before the first semi-monthly payroll.
- Attend informational sessions that will be offered and communicated in advance to learn more about the transition and ask questions.
- Use available financial planning tools or resources using UTA’s Employee Assistance Program to help manage your budget with more frequent pay periods.
