We are now on to statewide release for all SSIS users with our new Time Entry Transformation (TET) web app. After three successful pilot rounds with 16 agencies, we are rolling out the application for statewide use!

Users Added: More than 7,500

Total Access: Approximately 11,500 workers across all county and Tribal Nation agencies statewide

The TET web app allows users to login/out securely, switch databases (if multiple are available), and create and submit new time records.
