This June brings important updates from the Office of Human Resources. Please carefully read this information on the new Personal Observance Leave and legislative pay increases for the upcoming fiscal year. 

New Personal Observance Leave available to eligible employees

In recognition and celebration of a diverse workforce, UNC Charlotte will now annually offer eight hours of Personal Observance Leave. This leave is designed for leave-earning employees to use on a day of significance, including days of cultural, religious or personal observation.

In the next couple of days, employees should see a new icon on their Windows desktop and start menu that says “OneIT Support.” Mac users will see the same icon in self-service and applications.

When working with the Service Desk, click on this icon will make it easier to establish a remote-control session. See the Windows FAQ and the Mac FAQ for more details.
