Requesting a Change to an Employee's Time & Absence Approver

   Overview   

OneUSG Connect allows you to submit a request to change the approver of an employee's time and absence transactions. You will use this to make requests for a change for a small number of employees.

The transaction will be routed through the OneUSG Connect workflow process for the appropriate approval.

If you have more than 50 employees who need to be changed, contact payroll@uga.edu. They will work with you to create a spreadsheet to upload to the system in order to enter the information.
