Work Instruction Functional Area: Employee Self Service (ESS)
ESS Request Time Off From Work
Purpose Use this procedure to:
1. Learn how to use UC Flex - Employee Self-Service (ESS) to submit a request for time off from work.
2. View your vacation and sick balances (i.e. quota/leave balances).
Important items to remember:
1. Employees are not required to enter comments for every type of sick leave requested. Due to HIPAA's privacy rule, please be advised NOT to include sensitive material in your comments. 2. If you work a flexible schedule (FLEX08 or FLEX10) and submitting a request where the start/end dates encompass an off day, it is recommended that you add comments specifying the actual dates you are requesting so your timekeeper can record your time off correctly. 3. If you are requesting partial absences for consecutive dates (i.e. 3 hours SCK for 3 straight days for 9 hours total), enter start/end dates and 9 hours duration, plus it is recommended you add comments stating 3 hours each day so your timekeeper can record your time off correctly.
