New sick leave eligibility!
On July 14, 2020, Colorado enacted the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (HFWA). Beginning Jan. 1, the act requires employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees up to a maximum of 48 hours per year. Administrative Policy Statement (APS) 5062 outlines or references all university employee leave-related policies. 

Student employees, temporary classified staff, university staff, and temporary researchers will Accrue at a rate of 0.034 sick hours for each hour worked. Accrual hours are calculated as part of the payroll process and become available once payroll has processed the pay period.

  • Tracking "Hourly Sick Leave” will be an option beginning Jan. 10 in MyLeave under appropriate circumstances after it is accrued.
