Hourly Employees only
If you are an hourly employee, you must submit absences using the Partial Days option. After entering the absence name, begin date, and end date, select Partial Days and follow the instructions in Request Partial Days Off. If you do not use the Partial Days option, you will receive an error message when attempting to forecast the request.
For each day in your request, enter the number of hours you were scheduled to work. For example, if you were scheduled to work 4 hours on the day of the absence, enter 4 hours. If you are requesting a multi-day absence and your scheduled hours vary by day, submit separate requests for each variation.
