The HR Shared Services Organization will be operational for the holiday season, with the exception of the University of California designated holidays as follows:

Thursday, November 28^th & Friday November 29^th - CLOSED

Tuesday, December 24^th & Wednesday, December 25^th - CLOSED

Tuesday, January 31^st & Wednesday, January 1^st - CLOSED 

From Monday, December 23^rd through Friday, January 3^rd the SSO will have reduced staffing and the student onboarding office at the Memorial Union will be closed.  However, we will continue to have remote onboarding appointments available during business hours, we will be monitoring the SSO Service Desk phone and email, as well as an incoming AggieService case during this time.  Report a Problem and Ask a Question cases will continue to receive an initial response within the expected timeframes (2 and 24 hours, respectively).  For routine Payroll and HR cases that do not require an immediate response, please expect our team to get back to you after the New Year.

Help us prepare:

In order to prepare for our reduced holiday operations, we’d like to request that prioritized HR requests be submitted to AggieService by Friday, Dec 13^th.

This includes the following request types that require action to be taken prior to January 1, 2025:

• Contract extensions
• Limited appointment extensions
• Recruitments (Job postings) for entry into Job Builder or Handshake
• New hire selections
• Salary actions such as stipends, reclassifications, equities to be entered into Job Builder

Please be aware of the accelerated payroll deadlines outlined below, impacting bi-weekly pay period ending December 21, 2024.  Additional payroll deadlines during the holiday season can be found on our website.

Thank you for your continued collaboration to ensure our UC Davis employees’ HR and payroll needs are supported timely and accurately. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our team any time.

We look forward to working with you in the new year!
