LEAVE INFORMATION SYSTEM THROUGH CONNECT@MTA EMPLOYEE DOCUMENTATION

A leave tracking system has been developed by Computing Services and Human Resources through Connect@mta, the same site used to access for Pay Statements, T-4’s, and Salary of Record. This system enables an employee to input time off and bank overtime/plus time. Employees and managers will be able to see leave balance for vacation, overtime and plus time and total usage balance for other leaves. You will also be able to view the detail that makes up the balance of each leave.

The use of the Leave Information System does not replace conversations between employees and managers when requesting time off or informing your manager of appointments that require you to be away from work.

Once employees and managers have logged into Employee section of the Connect@mta system you will see a menu heading "Leave Plans”.

Employees will access the following pages: Leave Plan Summary Vacation Leave Request Other Leave Request

Banking Overtime/Plus Time Managers will access the following pages: Managers Pending Approval List

Manager’s Leave Summary by Employee Manager-Employee Leave by Date Range

VACATION LEAVE REQUEST

The vacation year runs from July 1st to June 30th of each year. In most cases, vacation is accrued in one vacation year for use during the following vacation year. Early in July your vacation accrual will be added to your leave balance. When you take days off as vacation leave you will enter the day(s) in the system by clicking on the menu item “Vacation Leave Request”.

You will see your current year balance and any vacation approved for the next vacation year. If you enter vacation leave for the current year it will reduce the current balance, if you enter vacation leave for the next vacation year (eg after June 30) the total will show under approved for next year.

Complete the following fields:

- Request Begin Date – Enter the start date of your vacation. If you are taking one day off the begin date and end date would be the same. If you are taking multiple consecutive days off enter the first day off in begin date and the last day off in end date. If the days are not consecutive you must enter one entry for each consecutive period. For example if

you are taking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday off, do one entry for Monday to Wednesday and one entry for Friday.

- Request End Date – Enter the end date of your vacation. If you are taking one day off the begin date and end date would be the same. If you are taking multiple consecutive days off enter the first day off in begin date and the last day off in end date. If the days are not consecutive you must enter one entry for each consecutive period. For example; if you are taking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday off, do one entry for Monday to Wednesday and one entry for Friday.

- Total Days Requested – Enter the total number of days in half day increments. A morning or an afternoon would be .5 of a day, Monday and Tuesday would be 2 days, etc.

- Reason for Request – This is not a required field.

After you have completed the information click on “SUBMIT”. You will receive confirmation that an e-mail will be sent to your manager. Your manager will review and take appropriate action; you will receive an e-mail advising you that the vacation has been approved or denied when completed by the manager.

Vacation Notes

- Vacation cannot be entered in a previous vacation year. For example you cannot enter vacation taken during June in July. You can enter vacation for the next vacation year. For example in June you can enter vacation for July. Once approved this will show in the field Vac Approved Next Year until July 1st then it will show in the current balance. - Past input is limited to 60 days from date of entry but cannot go back past the beginning

of the benefit year (July 1st). Ensure these are entered in a timely manner.

- Vacation can only be carried over from one year to the next with VP Approval. A copy of this approval must be sent to Human Resources before June

- If you are taking vacation over two benefit years (June into July) you will need to do two entries. For example if you take vacation from June 24th to July 5th 2013 you must do two entries; one for the period June 24th to June 28th for five days and one for the period July 2nd to July 5th for four days (July 1st is a holiday).

ADJUSTING ERRORS

If you have entered a leave and it has been approved by your manager and for some reason you do not take the time off (Dr appointment cancelled, need to cancel vacation, etc) you must do a negative entry to offset the original leave request. This entry would be done in the same way a request entry is done. Duplicate the information from the original request but put a minus sign in front of the hours or days that you had requested. Your manager would then approve and you will see both entries in the detail records, your balance would be adjusted accordingly.
