Take Action Now: Submit Missing Leave Reports to Avoid Sick Leave Reduction
September 26, 2019

Faculty, Academic Staff and Limited appointees (who have or had an active leave-eligible appointment) are required to submit a leave report for each appointment, each month, whether or not leave is used.

Failure to submit any leave report(s) will result in a reduction of your sick leave hours.

For the July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019 fiscal year leave reports were due June 30, 2019. While June 30, 2019 is the preferred submission date, failure to submit all leave for the July 2018 through June 2019 fiscal year by September 30, 2019 will result in a reduction of employee sick leave hours. Even one unsubmitted leave report may reduce an employee’s sick leave balance.

Leave reports may be submitted electronically via the MyUW portal. To check for missing leave reports, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the MyUW portal for UW System institutions or for UW-Madison 
  2. Go to the "Time and Absence" module 
  3. Click on the "Leave Reports" link

Paper leave reports may also be submitted.

Employees with missing leave reports receive monthly email reminders that lists their missing reports.

Visit the Time and Absence Help Pages for assistance with reporting leave. If you have questions or are unable to report your leave at the link above, contact your Institutional Leave Administrator.
