Time Off
Campus staff, faculty, academic personnel, and student employees request and manage their absences in Workday.
Medical Centers employees track and report absences in Kronos. Time off balances that appear in Workday are as of the end of the previous pay period; for current balances, refer to Kronos.

Absence Types
An important part of managing your absence is understanding the various types of Time Off. Review the Time Off Types webpage for more information.
Some absences, including those that may qualify for the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Disability Leave, or Parental Leave require both a Leave of Absence (LOA) request and an accompanying request for Time Off.
Requesting Time Off
To submit a time off or leave of absence request in Workday, refer to the step-by-step instructions in the Enter Absence (Time Off) User Guide, linked below.

Correcting Time Off
Even after your Time Off has been approved, you can correct your Time Off and resubmit to your Time & Absence Approver for up to 90 days.
If you have already submitted an absence, navigate to your absence calendar, select the previously entered time off entry, and adjust the time off type or hours as needed. Submitted Time Off will automatically route to your designated Time & Absence Approver to review and approve.
Viewing Your Time Off Balances
Time Off-eligible employees can locate their accrued Time Off balances by type in Workday. For current Time Off balances, select Menu > Absence and refer to the “Time Off Balance as of Today” table.
To learn about your Time Off accrual rates (i.e., how much Time Off you accrue per month), visit the Time Offs, Leaves & Holidays page.
