Emergency Admin Leave
Faculty
For impacted regular faculty (all tenured and tenure-track faculty and instructor-track, clinical-track, and faculty-in-residence at 50% time or more), faculty members should follow their college/school procedures for applying for leave. Most typically, faculty members should contact their chairs/directors, deans/divisional deans, and school/college faculty HR liaisons to begin the application process using the appropriate leave request form.
Temporary Employees
For impacted temporary employees (lecturers, student employees, working retirees, etc.), we expect departments and supervisors to be especially compassionate and flexible until conditions improve while temporary employees navigate relocation.聽 Flexibility may include covering teaching or research responsibilities or allowing flexible working hours to accommodate the unique situation. Temporary employees should communicate with their supervisors about their current and future needs.聽
Graduate Students
Graduate students on appointment (TAs, GPTIs, GAs, GRAs) who have been directly impacted should notify their supervisor and department chair immediately. The Graduate School will assist with financial support to units whose graduate students on teaching and research appointments are temporarily unable to fulfill their duties. If it is determined that it is necessary to hire a temporary replacement the department should contact Gretchen.Oconnell@colorado.edu to request temporary teaching and research support funds.
Vacation and Leave Sharing
If more leave is needed after applicable administrative leave, staff, and research faculty should utilize any vacation or comp time they have accrued.聽 After all is exhausted, employees may apply for Leave Sharing.聽聽
