The following instructions are for EXEMPT employees who need to request leave time via MySeattleU. The Colleague system allows you to report past leave time starting from the beginning of the new fiscal year (July 1st) and into the future.

 

How to submit a Request:

 

  1. Navigate to the employee homepage and select “Leave”

  2. Click “Request Leave” on the right side of the page

  3. Select the ‘Leave Type’ from the dropdown list.

  4. Enter hours for the relevant dates

  5. Enter comments if needed.

  6. Save.

  7. Submit for approval if ready. Once the request is submitted, the primary supervisor will receive an email notification for approval.

 

Note: If you are not ready to submit, click ‘Save’ instead of ‘Submit.’ The saved leave request will display as ‘Draft’ in the Outstanding Leave Requests. You can delete the ‘Draft’ leave request if necessary.

Once you have submitted a leave request, it cannot be canceled or edited until it is rejected by your supervisor

 

 

Editing or Canceling Requests after Submitting to Supervisor for Approval:

 

  1. You must notify your primary supervisor to reject the leave request.

  2. Once your supervisor rejects the leave request, your SS Leave page displays ‘Rejected.’

  3. Select the specific date under ‘the Date Range’ or ‘Rejected’ to show detail.

  4. To delete the request, the Leave Request must be in ‘Draft’ status.

    • To move the request from ‘Rejected’ into ‘Draft,’ click the start or end date and change it to any date. This action is performed to revert the hours to ‘0.’ Save. Delete!
