Information regarding leave requests over Memorial Day Weekend

For those using Firefly’s Leave Request process, please pay special attention to your requests that fall over the Memorial Day weekend.

Currently ESS Leave will disregard the weekend and not charge vacation hours for Saturday and Sunday but this isn’t the case when it comes to holidays.

As an example, if you plan to take vacation Friday, May 28 through Tuesday, June 1 you’ll need to submit two requests, one for Friday and another for Tuesday.

Creating the two requests will then accurately post your vacation to your employee record. This splitting would also be necessary for Leave Requests spanning the Fourth of July holiday on July 5 or the Labor Day holiday on Sept. 6.

Contact the UNMC Payroll Office 402-559-7460 if you have questions or are interested in using Firefly’s Leave Request process.
