Purpose: Use this guide for submitting leave requests, which are now known as absence requests in ctcLink.
Audience: Overtime-Eligible Classified Staff
Note: When you need to submit a partial request (less than your scheduled shift) the process is new and may not feel intuitive.
Go to Employee Self Service
Click on the Time Tile
Click on Request Absence Tile
Once you are in Request Absence, select the absence type (if you don’t know what to choose, contact the Human Resources Office for assistance).
After choosing the absence reason, choose the start and end date. There can be full and partial day absence requests.
Example 1: You can choose multiple full days only if they are identical shift hours. If the hours vary or fall between work weeks, you must put in separate requests. This is especially true for partial day requests (see Example 2 below).
Once you are finished, click the Submit button on the top right of the screen.
Example 2: Submitting a Partial Day Absence Request
First, click on the words “Partial Days.” It is a hot link even though it’s not underlined (actually the whole row is the link).
The following box opens up:
Click on “Partial Days” dropdown then click on Start Day Only, End Day Only or All days.
If it is a half day, then click Done and Submit. If it’s not a half day, then click the green highlighted Yes and it will change to NO and put in the number of hours. Click Done and Submit.
