Harvey Resource Guide - Staff

Payroll/Human Resources Questions

• We understand that you may experience some issues in safely getting to work or to campus. Please check in with your supervisor if you will have difficulties traveling to work once the campus opens.
• There will not be a delay in the distribution of September 1 paychecks.
• Hourly employees, please contact your supervisor for instructions should you not be able to work your regular schedule.
• Upon the Chancellor and President’s declaration of granting administrative leave, all regular benefits eligible employees* required to complete timecards will report administrative leave (Admin Hours Taken).
• We realize regular benefits eligible employees will not be able to complete or submit August timecards in Phoenix until returning to campus. However, this will not affect the September 1 paycheck. Upon returning to campus, please record “Admin Hours Taken” for August 25th (noon) – August 31st. This leave type will not be deducted from leave balances. We will provide guidance for the September timecard with the end of month reminder.
