Human Resources November Spotlight
As we approach the holiday season, Human Resources remains committed to providing timely guidance, resources and support to help employees
and supervisors successfully navigate key deadlines and workforce processes. Thank
you for all you do to support our campus community. Together, we continue to make
UNCSA a great place to work, learn and create.
Thanksgiving holiday reminder
The University will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26, and Friday, Nov. 27, 2026, in observance
of Thanksgiving.
Supervisor Reminder: If you anticipate being out of the office when leave reports are due, please designate
a proxy approver to review and approve employee leave reports. Timely approvals are
essential to accurate payroll processing and to ensure employees are paid on schedule.
Need assistance setting up a proxy? Please contact Ashanti Williford, Leave Administrator,
at williforda@uncsa.edu or (336) 770-1428 for assistance. This simple step helps prevent approval delays
and supports a smooth payroll process during the holiday season.
December payroll & hiring deadlines
To ensure personnel actions are processed in time for the Dec. 21, 2026, payroll,
please plan accordingly:
- Personnel actions must be submitted in PeopleAdmin and reach Initial HR Review by 5 p.m. on Nov. 16, 2026.
- Personnel actions must complete all approval workflows and reach Final HR Review in PeopleAdmin no later than Dec. 2, 2026.
- Employees hired into permanent positions must have an effective date of Dec. 1, 2026, to receive a paycheck in December.
- Employees hired after Dec. 1 will receive their first paycheck at the end of January 2027.
Early planning helps ensure a smooth onboarding experience for employees and timely
payroll processing.
