Mass processes are intended to ease the administrative burden on processing offices for high-volume transactions. Mass processes fall into two categories:
- Automatic Mass Processes
- User-Initiated Mass Processes
CSU Approvals
CSU-initiated mass processes now require the submission of an approval form via DocuSign. We are requiring this additional step to improve our compliance with internal audit findings regarding the approval of mass processing requests. For more information, continue reading Reminder: CSU Approvals via DocuSign are Required for Mass Processes.
Mass Process Resources
- Mass Process events calendar – Provides a list of all upcoming mass process events by date.

Monthly Mass End Additional Job / Termination Process
The monthly Mass End Additional Job/Termination process will run for all fixed-term employees and non-employees positions with an End Employment Date on or before the last day of the prior month. The effective date of the mass process will be equal to the End Employment Date on the position. In addition, if there is an Academic Appointment associated with the position, it will be ended. This process requires preparation for it to be fully effective.

The Non-Tenure Track Faculty Inactive 3 yrs. Mass End Additional Job/Termination process will run for all Non-Tenure Track Faculty jobs that have been in the F-INA job profile for 3 or more years. The reason for this process is to require onboarding when a faculty member is rehired after a significant period of inactivity.

Prior Period Mass Advance of Time
At the end of each month, time entry for the month that is 3 months earlier will be locked. Once a period locks, only Timekeepers and Central HR will be able to enter or adjust time in the locked period. The Prior Period Mass Advance of Time to the Timekeeper runs at least one week before the last day of the month when the prior period lock happens.

All time recorded on hourly positions within the mass advance period that is awaiting manager approval will be advanced to the Timekeeper.
