Benefited employees are required to submit planned absences well in advance and unplanned absences on the day they return to work.
Supervisors of benefited employees are required to approve, deny, or pushback absence requests as soon as possible after receiving the email notification.
Biweekly Payroll:
Monthly Payroll:
UGA requires supervisors to approve absence requests for monthly paid employees by 9:00 a.m. seven days after the monthly payroll deadline (see Payroll Calendar). Any absence requests not approved will be applied in the next monthly payroll. This is not a problem as long as the employee has accrued leave to cover the time.
