Reporting Absences
• Each division/department will continue to use its
current method of “requesting” an absence
5
Employee Best Practices
• Enter Absences as taken
• Enter ALL absences by the 5th of the next month (UNC)
• Be sure to post “No Leave Taken” using the first day of
the month (Both Start and End Date) if you didn’t take any
time off for the month
• All “leave reports” must be submitted or sick leave could
be reduced
• Take your time and be patient
***Supervisors approve by 10th of the month***
• NOTIFY HR of any/all Supervisory
and Backup Approver changes!

Leave Balances for Full Time 12 Month Employees
Sick Leave = 176 hours given for the first 18 months of employment; after first 18
months, earn 8 hours per month (Based on 100%).
Vacation = 176 hours from 7/1/15 – 6/30/16 (Prorated based on start date)
These can be carried over the until 6/30/17. They must be used or converted to ALRA
(see later slide on details of when people are eligible for this).
Personal Holiday = 36 hours of leave (must be used by 6/30/XX, or is LOST)
NOTE: When employee leaves employment, they should look at last earning statement
to determine how much leave is available in the *“Ending Earned Balance” column, not
the “Available Balance” column. Leave reports must caught up to date before last day
of employment with UW-Platteville.
* Remember this is for leave entered, approved and when Payroll Processing Period
occurs which happens about the 3rd week of the month.
It’s a good idea to
keep track of your
absences/balances
when you start.
Guidelines for Reporting Absences
For *100% FASL Employees, Absences can be taken by
using the following UW-System Guidelines:
Personal Holidays
Up to 2 hours = No need to report absence
2 hours up to 6 hours = Report 4 hours
6 to 8 hours = Report 8 hours
must be used by
June 30 or they
will be lost!
*If you work less than 100%, you should report actual hours absent.
For More Information on the FASL (Unclassified) Leave Policy, please see the
following links:
Vacation, Holiday and Catastrophic Leave Policy:
http://www.uwsa.edu/ohrwd/policies/upg9.pdf
Sick Leave Policy:
http://www.uwsa.edu/ohrwd/policies/upg10.pdf
IMPORTANT:
If you fail to report even one month of Leave Reports, your
sick leave could be reduced.
• Each month you either report an absence or “No Leave
Taken” for the month.
• Either way, you must report something each month by
the 5th of the following month. Example: September is
due on October 5 at the latest.
THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR ANY
TYPE OF LEAVE REQUESTS:
• Don’t span across weekends or over holidays
• Don’t span leave over two months
(Example: VAC request for September 30-October 2) – do 2 separate
requests
• When requesting a leave request for more than one day, be sure:
-Using same type of leave
-Using same amount for “Hours Per Day” (all 8 hours or all 4 hours)
If NOT, then do separate requests.

need to use the 36 hours of personal time (if 100%) by 6/30/15 or lose them.
*Don’t span over holidays, weekends or over two months. (Example:

two requests: One for September 29-30 and one for October 1-3)

NOTE:
For new employees,
FIRST MONTH ONLY use the first day on your
contract [Only if date is
AFTER the First] for the
start/end day of
absence.
New Employees
Mary-Alice is a new 12-month employee –
she started on March 22 so will use that date
for her “No Leave Taken” report for March
because it’s after March 1.
After that she will ALWAYS use the first of
the month for both start and end dates.
Example: 4/1/14 - 4/1/14

> click on Edit, make changes and hit Submit to save or Cancel to cancel request

assistance.

completed 10 or more years of continuous service as of the prior fiscal year end
(ALRA Counter of 120 as of 6/30/2014) are able to convert up to 40 hours of
vacation each year.
Employees completing 25 or more years (ALRA Counter of 300 or greater as of
6/30/14) may convert up to 80 hours. These hours will be placed in the Annual
Leave Reserve Account (ALRA) and can be used at any time or paid out upon
termination or retirement.
Human Resources receives notice of who is eligible for this and will send a notice
out to staff affected by it.
