Mass Process Guidance

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 – Initiated on behalf of Colleges, Schools, Units (CSUs)

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.

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.
