Exception Leave Time Information and Leave Types

Exception Leave Time and Information

Exception leave time reporting is for administrative employees (exempt) and faculty to report time-off and automatically reduce their sick and vacation accrual balances through Banner9 Employee Services. Employees will need to enter their leave time before the deadline dates (Exception Leave Time Schedule), and supervisors will approve the leave through the system.  Emails will go out the day before the due date to remind employees to enter their leave time for the month and submit it to their supervisor.   The next day, supervisors will receive an email to approve the leave time entered. Employees are only required to enter exception leave time if they have leave time to report.  Payroll will pull in all leave time entered regardless of whether the supervisor approves it.  Supervisors will be able to see their employee’s leave balances and view the history of the leave time reported for up to two years.  Employees will also be able to see their own leave balances and leave history for up to two years.
