TIME & ABSENCE FOR MANAGERS TIME & ABSENCE FOR EMPLOYEES
Time Tracking
- Biweekly campus employees will use Workday for their time entry, submission, and approvals. Employees may view or edit their time as needed entered in the Workday time calendar; this includes employees that clock in/out.
- Employees are responsible for submitting their time each week by 12:00 pm Monday for their managers to approve by 12:00 pm the Tuesday after the pay period ends. If an employee does not submit their time prior to the deadline, their pay may be delayed until the following paycheck after their hours are submitted and approved.
- Important Note: Health System employees will continue to use Kronos for time entry and approval, not Workday.
Overtime Rules
Overtime will be automatically calculated in Workday Time Tracking for campus biweekly employees and Kronos for Health System biweekly employees. What is included in overtime for campus biweekly employees using Workday is detailed below.
Hours that contribute towards overtime include holiday worked hours first and then the difference between holiday benefit and holiday worked hours. For example, if an employee worked 36 hours in a week, had 2 hours of holiday worked and 9 hours of holiday benefit, they would receive 5 hours of overtime. Two hours of holiday worked and 3 hours of holiday benefit would be tagged as overtime.
For employees with multiple positions, the position(s) worked for hours over 40 will be paid at the overtime rate.

Absence
- Workday absence consists of both time off and leaves of absence. A time off request is typically approved by a manager for a short-term absence. Examples of time off include vacation, sick time off, jury duty, and parental time off. A leave of absence request is typically for a longer period of time and most are approved by central human resources staff. Examples of leaves of absences include Family Medical Leave, Military Leave, or Faculty Professional Leave. If an employee is absent from work for over 30 days, they must be on a leave of absence in Workday.
- All employees, including Health System employees, can request a leave of absence in Workday. Health System employees and managers will continue to use Kronos for time off requests and approval. Campus employees and managers will request and approve time off in Workday. Managers are expected to review and approve time off requests in a timely manner prior to payroll deadlines or their employees will not be paid for that time off.
Compensatory Time Off Aged Payouts
The Scheduling Work and Overtime Compensation Policy 6.10 states that compensatory time must be used within 365 days. The policy requires that any earned compensatory time that is not used within 365 days be paid out with the next pay period. Follow the links below for more information:
