Report Effort/Time (Dean & Faculty Admin)

This article provides instructions for reporting effort on an activity. UC OATS calculates time in hours, not days. Faculty members should report up to a maximum of 8 hours for any day spent on a Category I or II activity. For traditional or hybrid in-person instructional formats (e.g., lectures, discussions), 6 contact or "podium" hours with students are equivalent to 1 day.

• 1 Day = 8 Hours
• 1 Day = 6 Podium Hours - traditional or hybrid in-person instructional formats (lectures, discussions)

To report effort:

1. Locate the activity in your workspace, then click the Report Effort button.

   

2. Fill out the effort form. 
   
   • a) Locate the activity for which you are reporting effort.
   • b) Select the remuneration type.
   • c) Indicate whether the reported effort was for podium hours.
   • d) Enter the amount earned and the number of hours you worked. Also, document how many vacation hours were taken.
   • e) Optional: You can add notes about the effort.
   • f) Enter the start and end date of the effort.
3. Click the Report button to save the effort. The time threshold bar will automatically adjust to include the reported effort.
