Dear Academic Year Faculty Member:
Starting on October 1, 2024, academic year (AY) faculty will begin entering No Leave Taken in the campus Human Resources system (also referred to as “CMS HR”) for the September 2024 pay period and each pay period thereafter. All University employees will then be aligned in utilizing a consistent monthly leave reporting process.
Faculty are currently expected to report sick days, personal holidays, and other types of absences in CMS HR. No Leave Taken reporting is a standard CSU practice, and our campus had deferred the requirement for AY faculty to report No Leave Taken until the implementation of the Common Human Resource System (CHRS). The requirement to also now report No Leave Taken will help us avoid payroll corrections which impact employee pay and create unexpected workload for faculty and staff.
Now that CHRS is on track to launch during Spring semester 2025, our campus notified CFA and determined that universal No Leave Taken reporting should begin. Implementing this change early in the 2024-25 academic year allows AY faculty to adopt this new practice in time to identify any concerns we should address prior to the official launch of CHRS. CHRS will affect the look of our HR system and adopting the No Leave Taken reporting practice beforehand will reduce the demands on faculty and staff associated with the larger transition.
If you have related questions, please contact the Office of Faculty Success in Academic Affairs at vpfs@csus.edu.
Thank you for your support,
Carlos Nevarez
