Before using this guide, a Manager should know the following:
Campus login ID and password for My UW System Portal.
1. Log in to the My UW System portal at https://my.wisconsin.edu/ Note: UW-Madison employees can optionally log in to the My UW-Madison portal instead. For more information on logging into the My UW System portal, please see Logging into the My.Wisconsin.edu / My.Wisc.edu System Portal .
2. Locate the
Manager Time and Approval module and click the
Approve Absence link.

3. You will be taken to the
Absence Requests page. This page will show any
Pending absence requests by default. Choose the absence you wish to deny by clicking on the employee's
Name.

*Note: you can view any requests you have approved or denied by changing the Show Requests By Status field to what you want to view ("Approved" or "Denied") and then click the Refresh button.
4. The
Absence Details page will appear. Click on the
Deny button to deny the absence request. You can optionally leave comments for the employee in the
Approver Comments box.

NOTE: This balance only reflects the balance as of the last Earnings Statement (i.e. confirmed payroll). Absences approved or taken since the last payroll are not reflected in this balance. You should always verify that your employees have available hours of leave to take before approving any absence requests.
5. You will see the
Denial Confirmation page. Click
Yes to deny the absence request.

6. On the
Deny Confirmation page click
OK to finish denying the absence request.
