Leave Accruals in Self Service - Exempt Staff

• Direct Access to Leave Accruals History for Last Year

• Direct Access to Enter Absence Information

Exempt staff track and submit their leave accruals online via HRIS Self Service.  As of September 2007, the annual paper-based process was moved online.  Paper forms are no longer mailed to staff each year.

The Self Service pages are available throughout the fiscal year for employees to enter vacation, sick, and personal floating holidays taken.  The pages are also updated monthly to increment employees' vacation balances. At fiscal year-end, employees must review their leave accrual record and submit it to their supervisor for approval. 

Managers may view their employees' leave accrual record at anytime during the year.  Approving a leave accrual record only occurs in September (fiscal year-end), or when an employee terminates.

At fiscal year end, exempt staff and their supervisors are notified of the deadline for submitting and approving leave accrual records.  After the deadline the online pages are closed briefly so that vacation balances may be rolled over into the next fiscal year in accordance with the university's policy.  Employees who do not submit their leave accrual record at fiscal year-end will not have their vacation balance carried over to the next year.
