Absence

  • Requests for absences, leave, and time off will not be available from June 29-July 6. During this time period, you will need to manually track leave. Supervisors will need to manually approve time off. Contact your local HR professional for details on how your area will track leave.
  • On July 7, 2025, the Workday tile will replace the MyUW Time and Absence tile.
  • Beginning July 7, requests for absence and time off will be entered and approved in Workday. Once Workday is available, you can enter requests for time off, including time not entered from the time period of June 29 to July 6, 2025.

Timesheets for time worked

  • If you use a timesheet to record hours worked, you will continue to use a timesheet in HRS to record hours.
  • You will need to submit a timesheet daily from June 15-28. During this time period, supervisors are to approve timesheets daily. This will ensure employees are paid (on the check payable on July 10, 2025).
  • On July 7, 2025, the Workday tile will replace the MyUW Time and Absence tile.
