Why is Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØreplacing MyLeave? 
Currently, MyLeave is used by only about 70% of the campus and presents several challenges. It does not integrate well with other systems, making it impractical for many departments. The platform is also highly customized, which significantly limits its ability to be updated and modernized. As a result, it lacks the functionality and flexibility needed to meet current and future needs. To address these concerns, the university is transitioning to PeopleSoft Time & Labor, a unified, modern solution designed to support all employees across campuses with improved integration, usability and scalability.
Will I still be able to use MyLeave after the new system launches?
No. Once PeopleSoft Time & Labor goes live (tentatively September 2026), it will fully replace MyLeave and designated third-party systems.
Who is CU’s implementation partner for this project?
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØhas partnered with SpearMC (now part of Mythics LLC), a firm with over 20 years of experience in Time & Labor and HR implementations, especially in higher education.
Who’s involved in building and guiding the new system?
The Time & Labor Project is a collaborative effort involving representatives from all four Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØcampuses and the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØSystem Office. At the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder campus alone, over 100 subject-matter experts (SMEs) from every school and department have actively contributed and will continue to support future phases. Campus leadership is also working together through a shared governance group to ensure the system meets the diverse needs of Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØemployees.
