Leave Documentation & Adjustments
Time and Leave Reports must be prepared and maintained on all employees. The time shown on the reports should be consistent with time shown on time cards or other time and attendance records maintained by the department or activity head. It is necessary to record whole or decimal parts of days on the report when the faculty or staff member has taken annual or sick leave. Signatures on the Leave Adjustment Form must be department's authorized person, usually the department head or designee.
Non-exempt employees report time present and not present. Exempt employees report
time not present. This does include faculty. Please refer to the links below:
