New UT faculty and staff members’ user records are loaded from the IRIS system to K@TE on a nightly basis. As an example, if you start in your new position at UT on a Monday, your user record will load to K@TE on Monday night, allowing you to log in to K@TE for the first time on Tuesday morning.
If you are still recorded in the IRIS system as a "Pending Employee", your user record will not load to the K@TE system until it is first updated in the IRIS system. For additional clarification about that process, please reach out to your UT department or campus UT Human Resources office.
