New Automated Leave System Active

From: Human Resources

Classified employees no longer need to use a 3x5 card to report leave! Human Resources and Information Systems implemented the new automated leave system on June 24th. Using J-Ess, classified employees can view their leave balances using the View Leave Balances and History link and enter their leave requests using the Add/Edit Leave Request link. Supervisors of classified employees will approve or deny the leave requests using new options available in Manager Self-Service.

Classified employees can review the how-to information, frequently asked questions, and tutorials. Managers can view the frequently asked questions or tutorial for additional information and help.

IMPORTANT –Employees whose leave is currently recorded in time books and sent to HR for entry will not use this system right away. HR will contact employees through their department to coordinate transition to the new leave system.

HR will accept leave cards for vacation, sick, sick family, personal day, community service, family/personal, overtime leave taken, compensatory leave taken and recognition leave taken through August 2 after which time all requests for these leave types must be entered through J-Ess. HR will continue to accept leave cards for other leave types not listed above such as Military, Jury, and Fire and Rescue leave.
