To request leave, please visit the online attendance/leave management system to submit a request.
Contract personnel are required to sign in in the morning and sign out in the afternoon every day. They are allowed to sign off of work 8 hours after the sign-in time (not counting lunch break). Those signing in after 9 a.m. must submit a leave request or they will be recorded as absent without cause. To request a leave of absence, paid time-off, or official leave, contract personnel are required to complete the applicable procedures through the Online HR Information System and obtain the necessary approval before they may leave the University. In the event of an acute illness or emergency, contract employees may notify their supervisor verbally and ask a colleague, family member, or friend to complete the necessary procedures for them.
