Keep in Mind

· Workers/time approvers should first check time off accruals to make sure there is enough paid time off available.

· Use the Time Off Details report in Workday to view a worker’s accruals by Pay Period.

· Be aware of the Effective Date; Time Off balances will only include requests from the past (prior to the Effective Date indicated).

· Non-Exempt employees can request time off in increments of one-half hour (0.5 hour) whereas Exempt employees should only request full day absences.

· The Daily Quantity field will default to the worker’s daily scheduled work hours.

· For workers with multiple jobs, be sure to choose the correct position when entering paid time off on behalf of them.

· The following information is needed to complete this business process:

· Worker name.

· Date of the paid time off entry.

· Start and End time for paid time off period.
