CIRES research faculty and staff can use up to 16 hours of time for volunteer activities each year. Supervisor approval is required for all volunteer hours ahead of time. Supervisors are not being asked to vet what is appropriate as a volunteer activity, but to ensure volunteer leave time does not interfere with deliverables or work needs. Participating in political activities or campaigns should be done under regular vacation leave and not volunteer leave. To enter volunteer time on your timesheet, in MyLeave please “submit a request” under the earnings code “Volunteer – Administrative Leave”. Please email cireshr@colorado.edu with questions.
