Change in Reporting Lines can only be requested by a Hiring Coordinator.

There are two options available for a Hiring Coordinator to change the Supervisor for a staff member.��

Saved leave can be found under View Absences Requests. You may need to change the date range by using the from/through boxes and clicking on 'Refresh'.

You can forecast leave through SSO. This can be done through 'Forecast Absences'.

If you are on a fixed-term contract, you will not be able to forecast to a date past the end of your current contract.

If you are a Manager you will see a link called 'Create Delegation Request'. Select Create Delegation Request to delegate leave management authority to a proxy for a given period (limited to 28 days).

Should you require a proxy for greater than 28 days, you must put this request in an email to HR Service Centre.

Leave will accrue progressively during a year of service, and will accumulate from year to year. If you are part-time, your leave will accrue on a pro-rata basis as per the University's Enterprise Agreement.
