  • Review employee rosters:
    • If temporary pay for Classified Staff should continue beyond July 1, 2025, verify that temporary pay is on the roster. If the temporary pay is missing or you see the incorrect amount, please submit a request to hrapprovalteam@colorado.edu.
    • HRSC coordinators will be reaching out for required information on Faculty Administrative appointments. Please plan to respond by 7/11/25 with necessary hiring documents or termination requests. If you see any discrepancies regarding Faculty Administrative appointments, or have lingering hiring paperwork, please submit a request to HRSC@colorado.edu.
  • Review funding and project end dates for speed types in your department. Expired end dates could cause funding to post to a suspense account.
    • The most helpful HCM queries for this review are: “Funding Distribution” (positions with incumbents) and “Position Funding” (all active positions). Your area accountant may change the “project” end date. Send all “funding” end date requests to HRSC@colorado.edu.
