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.
