General Workday Time and Absence Questions

Why do I see only a short list of time off types when making an absence request?

Time off types displayed are based on the specific employee's eligibility.

M&Ps are eligible for Sick, PTO, PTO Max Extension, and Flex
C&Ts are eligible for Sick, Vacation, Compensatory Time and – depending upon hire date – Personal, Bonus Vacation, and Floating Holiday
Staff members will also see, and be able to request, Jury Duty and Bereavement
Temporary employees are eligible for Connecticut Sick

Can we use the Absence Calendar for uses that are outside of our reporting structure (such as for a project)? Can it be used to track when employees are working at different locations on campus?

Not at this time – this is an enhancement that will be considered in the future.

I submitted a time off request using Request Absence. How do I change the request?

Navigate to your Absence Calendar (search for and select Request Absence or Correct My Absence). Click on the request. Requests in submitted status must be deleted and resubmitted. If the time off request has been approved, you can correct and resubmit it for approval. For details, see the Request, Correct, and Delete Time Off interactive guide.

Why is my schedule history blank?

If you work a common schedule (e.g., M-F 8:30-5), nothing will be displayed in Schedule History. Schedule history shows for those that have a unique pattern. Use "My Schedule" to view your schedule.

Will I be able to use Workday Time and Absence functions on my mobile device?

The Workday mobile app will allow employees to access certain Time and Absence functions.
