Denying an Absence Request (Manager/Payroll Coordinator) in HRS
Overview
This procedure outlines how a manager or supervisor can deny an employee's absence request. Denying an absence request informs an employee that for some reason they should not take the requested time off and they will not be paid for the absence.Process Considerations:
- Employees should always review their absence balances before submitting any absence requests. The employee's balance will display on the page once they have selected the Absence Name. If a request is denied, the employee must record other time worked or request another absence in order to be paid for that day.
Before using this guide, a Manager should know the following: Campus login ID and password.
