Submitting a Partial Day Absence Request

First, log into OneUSG Connect.

From the Employee Self Service homepage in OneUSG Connect, click the Time and Absence link.

The Time and Absence page is displayed.

Click the Request Absence tile.

The Request Absence page is displayed.

Your three most recent absence requests are displayed along the top, and Leave Balances in the menu along the righthand side.

Once you have reviewed your absence balances,

click the [X] Close button.

Note: The Absence Type field is not a required field. You can use this field to filter the Absence Types in order to narrow down the absence names in the Absence Name list

Click the Absence Type drop-down list.

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.
