MyLeave Replacement Initiative Frequently Asked Questions

General Current Status Timeline
General

To improve timekeeping capabilities, enhance employee experience, provide better tools for the HR community and increase the accuracy and quality of payroll data.

This initiative would impact any employees currently using MyLeave and may impact other employees currently using a third-party time tracking system.

Informed by the current state findings and analysis, recommendations will be developed to address opportunities and pain points. A tiered decision model has been developed to ensure the project aligns with CU’s strategic needs and appropriately supports operational processes for time entry and leave requests. The decision model will also consider effects to upstream and downstream processes. The Boulder project team is committed to ensuring the HR, payroll, and IT communities across our campus are represented in key project decisions.

Currently in Design Phase!

During the Design phase, project teams will create detailed design plans to guide the new Time & Labor system’s creation. Activity will center primarily around the core PeopleSoft Time & Labor system and third-party systems (used by campuses to track time and/or other functions).

Core Time & Labor system:

  • Make business and process decisions that are prerequisites for solution design.
  • Create/update business process diagrams to document a future state using the PeopleSoft Time & Labor module.
  • Create configuration documents for fit requirements, where the system aligns or fits CU’s needs.
  • Create functional design documents for gap requirements—or areas where additional development will be needed to meet CU’s needs.

Third-party systems:

  • Create solution design documents for third-party systems identified for replacement with Time & Labor.
  • Finalize third-party system replacement decisions and receive System Administration and campus leadership approval.
  • Create integration specifications for inbound/outbound integrations between remaining third-party systems and the PeopleSoft Time & Labor module.

Other activities:

  • Quality Assurance: Create a quality assurance test plan and finalize requirements for test case creation.
  • Change management: Perform a change readiness assessment and create an overall change management plan.
  • Project management: Create a project schedule and work breakdown structure for subsequent phases.
  • Infrastructure: Provision a development environment for the project.
  • Design Phase expected timeframe: March 2025 to June 2025
  • Upcoming: Build phase timeframe: July 2025 to November 2025, project teams will build the new Time & Labor system and its integrations between other CU IT systems
  • Tentative Go-Live date currently slated for the 2026 fall semester
