The askUS Support team always strives to provide the best answers to your questions about using UT's HR/Payroll and Financial systems. Sometimes providing the best answer means taking the time to thoroughly research and test solutions before getting back to you with an answer. You can assist the support team in this process by keeping the following information in mind when contacting askUS Support.

  • Along with a description of the issue you've encountered, include information on the process you followed and, more importantly, the desired outcome or goal you are trying to achieve. This can often help the team solve your problem more quickly, as there may be an alternate way to achieve your goal.
  • While we understand that your work does not stop just because you need to reach out to askUS Support for assistance, we would like to remind you not to continue, cancel, or alter processes, transactions, or documents related to an issue being researched. If you make changes without the team's knowledge, it could affect or delay finding the answer to your question or even create new issues. If making changes are unavoidable, please reply to the service ticket email and let the team know the details of your actions so they can take them into account as they research your original question.
  • If you are working with another business office (Ex: HR, APS, Payroll, Purchasing), please include this information in your email to askUS Support so we can coordinate our efforts more efficiently.
