  • How do I approve leave request?

    When an employee submits a leave request the manager will receive a email notification “Time Off Request Created” the email will have a “Approve level 1” link and a “Deny request” link. All you have to do is click on the link. The employee will be notified that the request was approved or denied.

    Note – the links expire after 48 hours.

  • What is the deadline for non-exempt employees to submit their time?

    Employee time is due every other Friday by close of business for the just-ending pay period. For employees that work on Saturdays, time is due at 12 noon on the Monday after the pay period ends.

    Please refer to the Biweekly Payroll Schedule for a list of pay periods.

  • What is the deadline for employee time to be approved?

    Approvers must approve employees' time by 6:00 p.m. on the next business day for the just-ending pay period. This is normally 6:00 p.m. the following Monday.

    For example, for the pay period ending Saturday 9/16/2023, approvers must approve employees' time no later than 6:00 p.m. Monday 9/18/2023.
