Important Information

Entered days can only be edited and/or changed before the approval process has been completed. Make sure the days reported are correct by using the Preview function before you submit. Although you may begin recording your leave at the beginning of the month, do not submit your leave until after the month has ended. This will insure accurate reporting and eliminate manual corrections. Also remember, Leave Reports must be submitted even when you have not taken any time.

Comments: If you take Family Sick time, please indicate in the comments section which family member you are taking the time off for. You also can use the comments button to communicate with your supervisor/approver. If your supervisor wants to be informed about time away from the office other than accrued benefit time; (e.g. excused, consulting, holiday, bereavement), this is where you would report it. The date associated with a Comment is the date you write it, so when referencing a day in the month make sure you indicate the date in the comments so the recipient will know which day you are referring to. After making remarks, click Save and Previous Menu to return to your Leave Report.

Leave Reports are due within 5 days after the end of the month. We have created an automated email to remind you to submit your Leave Report if you have forgotten to submit within that grace period. The reminders will stop once you have submitted your Leave Report to your supervisor.

The accrual of benefit time still occurs as part of the normal payroll process; as a result when the payroll is completed (usually the Monday or Tuesday prior to pay day) your accruals will be updated. However, time taken is not updated until your Leave Report is submitted and approved. Therefore, it is IMPERATIVE that you submit your Leave Reports in a timely fashion in order for the Leave Balances to be accurate.

Leave Balances available on your paystub will only be as accurate as the last approved Leave Report.
