University Staff (formerly Exempt Professionals)

University staff members are CU employees whose positions are exempt from the state personnel system. University staffers are paid monthly, on the last banking day of the month.

CU has multiple options for documenting hours worked and exception time. You must verify with your department how it records hours/time and follow that procedure.

Both the employee and his/her supervisor must sign the leave record verifying the accuracy of leave usage and balances.

There’s more to your pay than receiving a paycheck. Ensure you understand your finances by reading your paycheck correctly, reviewing pay days, learning how to safeguard against lost paychecks and more.
