- Faculty Outside Consulting: Pre‐Approval form must be submitted prior to accepting outside consulting work. SEHD HR sends this out every fall as a reminder.
- FML ‐ if your employee will be out 3 or more consecutive days due to illness/medical condition, please contact Patricia Ball
- Workers Comp ‐ if your employee is injured on the job, it must be reported within 4 days of the injury and they must see a CU‐designated medical provider.

Any changes needed? (Send any suggestions to Tricia) What else would be helpful?

| o It can take several weeks to process initial paperwork for international hires so they can start working. | |
| o Onboarding – Tricia, Becky, Gretchen, Theo, Tim, Hiromi, Jessica and JaNet all met to debrief and strategize the onboarding process. Everyone shared their role in onboarding so they could learn more about who does and what and figure out what was working and not working. As a result of the meeting, Jessica is working on creating a “pre‐hire” form that will help notify key individuals earlier in the hiring process that a hire is occurring. Ideally this will help provide ample time to coordinate office location and computer setup. Jessica and Tricia are also working on coordinating a welcome packet with practical information, a phone list, etc. that could be given to the new hire on their first day. |
