Overview
In this article, you will learn the steps to submit a request to delete a future-dated SWB/RWB
A Short Work Break (SWB) is a non-paid Payroll Status used when an employee is expected to return to work into the same position. Individuals on SWB are considered active employees and are subject to UGA policies and procedures. SWB and Return from Work Break (RWB) are primarily used with Graduate Assistants. As of April 1, 2023, there is a new, streamlined process for Short Work Breaks for Graduate Assistants.
DASHBOARD TO TRACK PROGRESS
You can track the approval status of submitted requests via the New Dashboard.
- Pending requests remain listed until entered into OneUSG Connect.
- HR Liaisons (approvers) can make changes directly via the “Approver Queue” link.
- To batch approve: Mark one row as “Approved,” copy/paste that value into other rows, and save the sheet.
