Time Reporting System (TRS)
You are paid bi-weekly, based on the dates specified for each pay period. Your time records must be submitted on time (by the due date specified on TRS). If you are hired under ASUCLA you do not submit your time record via the TRS system. This is done automatically by ASUCLA.
