Submitting a Partial Day Absence Request

   Overview   

For absences that will not span the entire duration of a work day, employees can request a partial day absence through OneUSG Connect. To submit a partial day absence request, you will follow the same steps as submitting an absence request; however, you will also need to indicate the duration and the partial day(s) when submitting the request.

In this article, you will learn the steps to submit a partial day absence request in the OneUSG Connect system.

Select the appropriate leave type from the displayed list. 

Note: If you are a Biweekly Benefitted employee, the best practice is to always enter Comp Time Requests and Deferred Holiday requests as Annual/Vacation and then the cascading rules will deduct the comp balance, the deferred holiday balance, and then annual leave. Comp Time and Deferred Holidays are not applicable for Monthly employees. Please view the ESS course materials for more information on the cascading rules.
