You will then be taken to the Request Benefits screen where can see your Current Benefit Availability, Less Approved Use and Less Approved/Pending Use, and also see any Pending Requests. This is also where you can make a new benefit request.
To make a new benefit request, simply click on the NEW button within the New/Edit Requests box. Once the request box expands, enter the date that the benefit hours are to be used (Important: Make sure that you are entering the date the the hours are to be used, NOT the current date unless that is actually the date of benefits usage.). Then choose the type of benefit time that is to be used from the drop down box, enter the number of hours to be used and, if desired, enter a request note (e.g., Taking day off for son's graduation.).
When all of the information has been entered and double-checked, click on the Save button. This will save the request to the pending requests and also automatically notify the manager or administrator assigned to you that there is a request waiting for their approval.
You can now see that the request has been moved to the Pending Requests box. From this box you can edit or delete the request until the date requested has been payrolled.
