Volume 2, Issue 16

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION ABOUT EMPLOYEE PAY ADVICES
As the university continues to increase sustainability by reducing the use of
paper, Payroll & Benefit Services is discontinuing the printing and mailing of
pay advices for all active employees effective January 1, 2010. Your payroll
advice is accessible via your campus portal: for UCD, UCCS and System
employees at https://my.cu.edu on the "My.Pay" page and UCB
employees at https://cuconnect.colorado.edu/uPortal/index.jsp
under the "MyCU Links" titled "PayAdvice/Check". Copies of current and
past payroll statements can be displayed by selecting the appropriate pay
period, and clicking on either the "View full Advice" or "View full Advice in
HTML format" links that are located below the pay summary.


Questions concerning access to payroll advices should be directed to
payrollbenefit.services@cu.edu or (303) 735-6500, extension 2.


PBS will continue to print statements for retirees who receive Alternate
Medicare payments. Likewise, terminating employees will receive their final
pay advices in the mail.


We appreciate your support in our continuing efforts to create efficiencies,
and enhance the university's green and sustainable practices.
