2 New Human Resources Policies
Purpose: Provide a healthy work place by helping employees attain a work/life balance while ensuring the operational needs of the University are being met The University of Calgary has introduced the new Human Resources policies in order to provide a healthy work experience by helping employees attain this balance while ensuring the operational needs of the University are being met.

They support the core goals of the project, to comply with the Auditor General's and Tri-Council's recommendations, to increase financial controls, to improve customer services, to reduce costs and to increase efficiencies The changes in the policies allows Human Resources to manage the University’s liability with respect to vacation, flex and overtime. They also utilize staff time more efficiently and support Faculties / Departments to manage work schedules better. Human Resources is dedicated to continuous improvement and these changes align with other upcoming enhancements designed to streamline their processes and improve their service. This course focuses on the policy and procedures that are being introduced. It does not go into detail regarding the implementation plan and how the policies are applied.

4 Why new Human Resource policies?
Clarify the University’s guidelines for: the scheduling and taking of vacation time (for MaPS and Support staff) the earning and taking of flex-time (Support staff) the administration, recording and pay out of overtime hours (Support staff) Ensure that eligible employees are provided the same opportunity for vacation, flex and overtime In addition, these policies clarify the University’s guidelines for: • the scheduling and taking of vacation time (for MaPS and Support staff) • the earning and taking of flex-time (Support staff) • the administration, recording and pay out of overtime hours (Support staff) These policies also ensure that eligible employees across all units and departments are consistently provided the same opportunity for vacation time, flex-time, and overtime.

6 Integration with Time Keeping Process

In addition, reports can be generated from the data gathered to analyze, monitor and plan resourcing requirements.
