Personalized Benefits Statements Now Available on Demand


Posted March 15, 2010

Regular employees have been receiving paper statements once a year, but these employees can now access electronic statements online anytime on the UT Portal where Online Pay Statements are available. Additionally this furthers the university’s initiative to save costs by printing fewer documents.

Personalized Benefits Statements include current information about salary, retirement benefits, insurance benefits, longevity pay and annual leave and sick leave balances.

Statements from December 31, 2001, through today are available on the UT Portal. To view your statement, go to https://utap1.tennessee.edu/irj/portal. Type in your NetID and password. Click on the Employee Self-Service tab and then click on Personalized Benefits Statement.

If you have questions about your statement, contact the UTSI HR Office at ext. 37226.
