Pitt Worx will be unavailable from Friday, Sept. 18, at 10 p.m. until Sunday, Sept. 20, at 7 a.m. while the vendor (Oracle) performs payroll and monthly mandatory maintenance. Those who need to submit timecards for the week of Sept. 13-19 should plan to do so before or after the outage period. As a reminder, timecards must be submitted and approved by noon on Monday, Sept. 21.
This maintenance period was determined according to Oracle’s payroll legislative patches schedule and includes system updates to legislative functions for local, state, and federal tax changes for 2026. These functionalities have been tested and approved for migration by Payroll department users.
The HCM Solutions Team has completed checks to ensure that the system is ready for the update and will be actively engaged with Oracle throughout the maintenance period. In the unlikely event of an issue, the HCM Solutions Team will closely collaborate with Oracle to determine the cause and resolve the issue. If the outage period is extended, updates will be provided at https://status.pitt.edu/.
Please submit a request to the Technology Help Desk at http://technology.pitt.edu/helprequest or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience any issues related to this maintenance. This effort is being led by John Scifo, Pitt IT’s HCM Solutions Manager.
