Campuses, good afternoon & happy Friday! I have some brief but important updates.

1. We have been asked to collect an additional metric on the COVID monthly template: EHRA and SHRA separations caused by COVID-related unavailability. The updated version is attached. Please remember that monthly spreadsheets are due to me (with Raisa Dunton on copy) by the 10th of every month, so that we may report back to OSHR by the 15th.

1. Those who have been working in the Comp Database within the past week may have noticed a new button at the bottom of the request window -- Create Duplicate. Users can now duplicate an existing request to create a new request with all the same information. This will be helpful when submitting a request very similar to an existing one (for example, an extension of a previously approved temporary supplement), saving the time and effort to complete some data fields. While employee, salary, and position information may end up remaining the same, please do not carry over the identical justification statement. The justification should be updated to reflect current conditions/needs. Also note that if the request being copied was created before recent changes to the system, some required fields may be blank and an error message will appear if users try to submit the request without completing those fields. We hope you find this enhancement helpful. Let Keith or Eric know if you have any questions.

1. We have made some very brief updates to the EHRA and SHRA pre-approval matrices stored on this page: https://myapps.northcarolina.edu/hr/class-comp/consultation/. The changes simply clarify existing policy. For those of you unfamiliar with the matrices, you'll find them a strong source of information on the pre-approval process.

Best, Keith
