They mounted a campaign to gain acceptance of such an idea by both University administrators and students. The student body voted to assess themselves an annual fee of $9 for the purpose of building a fund for “the Union,” knowing that many students would graduate before construction of the facility was completed.

The first Colorado A&M Union was completed in 1936 and was named Johnson Hall, after a well-liked Dean of the Faculty (S. Arthur Johnson, 1902-1930s). In 1939, Johnson Hall was expanded south to create a large ballroom and several adjacent lounges and meeting rooms.

When Colorado A&M became Colorado State University in the early 1960s, enrollment growth necessitated a larger and more centrally located facility. A new building, consisting of 160,000 square feet, was completed in 1962. This facility was named after Charles A. Lory, Colorado State University’s President from 1908 to 1933. Within four years, another surge in enrollment led to a 140,000 square foot addition. Completed in 1968, this addition, along with the original facility, covered approximately seven acres and was intended to support an enrollment of 20,000 students.

On July 28, 1997, the Lory Student Center (LSC) and much of the campus was hit by a flood. Completed 20 months later, an $18 million dollar renovation of the Center produced a new and reconfigured lower level.

As the physical facility has expanded, the LSC has become “home” to numerous organizations and business partners, including Adult Learner & Veteran Services; Asian/Pacific American Cultural Center; Black/African American Cultural Center; Career Center; Carl’s Jr.; El Centro; FastPrint (formerly CopyRite); First National Bank; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, & Ally Resource Center; Fraternity & Sorority Life; James Campus Salon; Native American Cultural Center; Off-Campus Life; Panda Express; RamCard; RAMtech; Recycled Cycles; Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation (RMSMC); Spoons; Student Legal Services; Subway; Taco Bell; Transfort; Ramskeller; Satellite Offices for Resources for Disabled Students (RDS); International Programs; and Women and Gender Advocacy Center (WGAC).

Maintaining a healthy balance between student support services and revenue generating businesses continues to be a priority for the Lory Student Center Governing Board (LSCGB) and staff.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Who We Are” tab_id=”wwa”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][heading text=”CSU’s Mission Statement” tag=”h4″][vc_column_text]Inspired by its land-grant heritage, CSU is committed to excellence, setting the standard for public research universities in teaching, research, service and extension for the benefit of the citizens of Colorado, the United States and the world.

 [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][heading text=”Classification of Employees” tag=”h4″][vc_column_text]Employees of Colorado State University are categorized as:

1. Academic Faculty and Administrative Professionals

These employees are appointed by the Governing Board or President of the University as applicable, upon recommendation of University officials. See Section 2 of the Human Resources Manual for details.

2. State Classified Personnel

State classified personnel are appointed by the Executive Director and Chief Human Resource Officer of the Human Resources Department. These employees are classified according to and are governed by State Personnel Rules and Regulations and University policies. See Section 3 of the Human Resources Manual for details

Revised April 2013, http://www.hrs.colostate.edu/policies/hrs-manual.html

In addition to the career staff classification above, the LSC employs student, and non-student hourly employees. The majority of our student employees are CSU students, but we do occasionally employ students from other institutions. We also hire non-students who are considered 9-month temporary employees, please see the HR manual for rules regarding non-student hourly employee rules.

Revised September 12, 2016, LSC Employee Guidebook[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][heading text=”Leave Policies” tag=”h4″][vc_column_text]Please refer to the HR manual for specific guidelines on leave policies. As a general rule, the following leave balances are accrued for full-time employees. Part-time employees earn leave on a pro-rated basis.

Years of Service * Days Earned Per Month Maximum Accrual
1st through 5th 1 Day 8 Hours 24 Days
6th through 10th 1.25 Days 10 Hours 30 Days
11th through 15th 1.5 Days 12 Hours 36 Days
16th and Over 1.75 Days 14 Hours 42 Days

* Computed from the first calendar day of the month following hire unless the employee began work on the first working day of the month, in which case the first calendar day of the month of hire is used.

State Classified Sick Leave
As of July 1, 1988, full-time employees earn 10 days sick leave per year (6.66 hours per month). Part time employees who work regular, non-fluctuating schedules earn leave on a prorated basis based on the percentage of the regular appointment, rounded to the nearest 1/100 of an hour. Leave for part-time employees who work irregular, fluctuating schedules and full-time employees who work or are on paid leave less than a full month is calculated by dividing the number of hours worked by the number of work hours in the pay period. The percentage is then multiplied by the employee’s leave earning rate (number of hours a full time employee would earn per month) to derive the leave earned. Overtime hours are not included in leave calculations.

Administrative Professional Annual Leave
Full-time administrative professionals on regular or special twelve (12) month appointments earn annual leave at the rate of two (2) days per month.

Administrative Professional Sick Leave
Sick leave is earned at the rate of 1.25 days per month while on full-time appointment. Administrative professionals appointed less than full-time, but at least half-time (0.5) earn sick leave prorated by the part time fraction of their appointment. No sick leave is earned by employees working less than halftime (0.5) or employed on an hourly basis. Accrual is cumulative with no maximum.

Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on customer service delivery, other employees, and daily operations. In the rare instances when employees cannot avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence.

An employee’s attendance is a critical factor of job performance and a business necessity essential to the operation of the Student Center. When an employee’s attendance is not satisfactory, it has the direct consequence of affecting our ability to provide our customers with excellent care. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to review the situation and determine whether written corrective and/or disciplinary action is warranted.

Attendance Tracking
The LSC Payroll/Personnel Office is responsible for maintaining accurate Annual and Sick Leave records based on the employee’s leave requests and the supervisor’s approval. LSC Payroll/Personnel is also responsible for maintaining the employee’s electronic time entry, attendance records and overtime pay for eligible employees. It is the employee’s responsibility to document their hours worked, and to request all leave to be taken, in TimeClock Plus . The supervisor is responsible for approving hours worked and verifying leave taken in TimeClock Plus. Records should be kept in the LSC Payroll/Personnel office for any individual who receives corrective or disciplinary action documenting the name, date of occurrence, and specific action taken. Copies of formal discipline are kept in the employee’s personnel file, in addition to Human Resources.

LSC employees are required to use the TimeClock Plus for requesting leave. This system can be accessed using the following address/link: https://aar.is.colostate.edu and click on TimeClock Plus. You will use your eID username and password to access this system. Leave requests can be made by clicking on the “Request” tab. Further training and instructions can be found on the CSU Human Resources homepage or http://hrs.colostate.edu/timeclockplus/.

State Classified and Administrative Professionals who are classified as non-exempt will also be required to use TimeClock Plus to record hours worked on a daily basis. Access TimeClock Plus by logging into AAR (https://aar.is.colostate.edu) and clicking on “TimeClock Plus”.

Questions regarding TimeClock Plus, entering leave and/or hours worked, should be directed to the Payroll/Personnel Office at lcpayroll@colostate.edu or (970) 491-2324.

In the case of a non-state classified employee, the 12 month period will be rolling, measured from the 1st date FML is used to the same date 12 month later.

The full FML policy for all University employees except state classified can be found in appendix 3 of the Academic Faculty and Administrative Professional Manual. FML designations and notices are to be remitted to the Human Resources Benefits Unit. FML questions regarding current procedures and forms should be directed to the Human Resources Department at (970) 491-MyHR (6947). NOTE: State classified employees are covered by the State of Colorado FML policy. Refer to Section 3 of the Human Resources Manual, for the specific provisions of that policy.

Revised September 2016, Colorado State University Human Resources Manual[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][heading text=”Workers Compensation” tag=”h4″][vc_column_text]Colorado law requires employers to provide workers’ compensation insurance for employees who are injured on the job, or contract disease related to their work duties, as determined to be compensable by the State Compensation Insurance Fund. Such insurance provides for medical treatment and lost wages replacement up to the average weekly wage established annually by the Colorado Department of Labor. A physician’s statement must be presented to the respective department by the injured employee stating the specific day(s) of disability caused by the accident or occupational disease

Colorado State University is insured for workers’ compensation under self-insurance maintained by the State of Colorado for all agencies and institutions of the State. Gallagher Bassett is the Third Party Administrator of all in state claims, contracted by the State, and all employer (University) responsibilities are handled locally by CSU Risk Management located on campus.

The University provides workers’ compensation for all paid employees except visiting faculty, student interns, and independent contractors. Contact Environmental Health Services or visit their web site at www.ehs.colostate.edu for detailed information and forms.

As of January 1, 1997, State Classified and Administrative Professional staff may be granted injury leave up to 90 working days with full pay when the employee agrees to allow weekly workers’ compensation benefits to be paid directly to the University. After exhaustion of injury leave, workers’ compensation benefits will be paid directly to the employee and the remaining one-third of the employee’s salary will continue to be paid by the University and will be charged against the employee’s accrued sick and annual leave. If the employee remains off work to the extent that accumulated leave is exhausted, the employee will continue receiving payments from worker’s compensation, but pay from the University will cease and the employee will be placed on leave without pay. See (Section 3 of the Human Resources Manual) for additional information.

This is not only the responsibility of our leadership through example, development of policy, and administrative actions, it is a responsibility that we all share, must be willing to understand and to which we must all contribute. Sexual harassment is an issue to which we must pay special attention, due to its particularly corrosive effects on our community, the legal ramifications of particular cases, policy implementation and the perception of our campus.

All university employees are required to take the Workplace Answers sexual harassment awareness online module. Shortly after their official start date, every new employee will receive an email from Workplace Answers with a unique link, associated only with them, allowing the employee to access the training module.

As an educational institution, we are committed to a healthy and safe environment, which is particularly dependent on the trusting relationships that develop between colleagues, instructors and students, and student peers. Sexual harassment in any form undermines this trust. As members of the CSU community, your assistance with the university’s efforts to ensure that we have a healthy, welcoming and safe campus for all is appreciated.

Please contact the Office of Equal Opportunity with any questions you may have.

Employees impaired by alcohol or other drugs during work hours pose safety and health risks to themselves and others. To ensure a safe working environment, it is the policy of the State of Colorado that use of alcohol, other drugs, and/or controlled substances that results in job impairment is prohibited. It is also the policy of the State of Colorado that illegal possession, manufacture, use, sale, or transfer of a controlled substance on state property or during work hours by its employees is prohibited. Violations of this policy may be cause for management/supervisor intervention.

Revised December 30, 1999, http://www.colorado.gov/cdhsdyc/CDHS-Rules-Regs-Policies/P-CDHS-VI-1-3.pdf[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][heading text=”CSU Guidelines Regarding Amendment 64 and Marijuana” tag=”h4″][vc_column_text]CSU employees are prohibited from using, possessing or being under the influence of marijuana in the workplace. Because the use of marijuana is a federal offense under the Controlled Substances Act, the University is required to adopt – and has adopted – a policy that prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession and use of illicit drugs and alcohol in the workplace. CSU employees who violate this policy are subject to discipline, up to and including termination. CSU strives to maintain a safe workplace, and permitting employees who are under the influence of marijuana, just like with alcohol, to operate machinery or work with potentially hazardous materials or substances could create serious risks in the workplace.

While performing their job duties, CSU employees are prohibited from consulting or providing assistance with the cultivation, sale, distribution or use of marijuana. Any employee who provides such assistance shall be acting outside the scope of his or her employment and assumes personal liability for such action. Federal agencies continue enforcement activity against those who facilitate the illegal use of marijuana, despite state law. Also, CSU is not required to accommodate an employee’s medical or recreational use of marijuana. In addition, illegal drug use may have other consequences. For instance, illegal drug use is a bar to the acquisition or renewal of a Federal security clearance.
