Top Summer Questions

When will the Summer Salary worksheets be sent out by the HRSC?
We typically try to have those forms created and sent out by early April each year to give departments plenty of time before they are due. Annual training sessions are held to go over all Summer Salary questions. 

How quickly can I expect my tickets to be completed in the summer?
Summer session is the busiest time of year for the HRSC. Please anticipate longer turnaround times compared to our typical three day business day turnaround in the Academic Year. 

Where can I get an update on my ticket status?
Please access the Cherwell Customer Portal.
