Question
How do I request time off and make changes to time off requests in Workday?
Answer
Minnesota State offers a job guide that shows the processes for requesting time off and correcting time off, including screen shots of these processes. On the guide, be sure to refer to the "Requesting Time-off" and "Correcting Time-off" sections.
Faculty and staff can also watch a demo video of these processes.
**Please note that in Workday, you will submit a quantity of hours that you are requesting off, you will not request a specific block of time off. For example, in Workday if you plan to be out from 8:00am-12:00pm on a scheduled day of work, you would request 4 hours of time off, not a time block such as 8:00am-12:00pm.
If you are an employee who is required to submit a timesheet (all employees with the exception of IFO faculty), it will be important to ensure you do not have "regular hours worked" assigned to the time you took vacation.
If you need to request FMLA leave, you are encouraged to reach out to your HR Business Partner to ensure timely and proper submission of your request.
