New Resource Available
Our wonderful Leave Specialist has created a Guide to Common Balance Discrepancies. This guide should help you identify whether an employee’s MyLeave balances are correct and if an adjustment is necessary.
Review employee rosters at the end of August to ensure compensation and appointment details are correct. This step is especially important for permanent faculty that may be on leave or sabbatical during Fall 2024 as compensation may need to be reduced before the individual is overpaid.
Submit Fall 2024 and AY25 requests as soon as possible. August hires and appointment changes should be entered into the system before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Otherwise, payroll may be late or require manual adjustments.
