Time Off and Leave Training Update

On July 1, all eligible employees* will begin to use Kronos to request and manage their paid time off. This new time off tracking functionality is an enhancement to Kronos, which is the current time and attendance system for non-exempt employees. The various systems used within departments, such as SoftTime and PlanMyLeave, will no longer be necessary.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us at one of the upcoming time off learning events and/or take advantage of one of the on-demand resources. The time off training program, created in partnership with the GW Information Technology, is flexible and supports individual learning styles.

Time Off and Leave Guide

As a reminder, the policies in the Time Off and Leave Guide, found on the Time Off Project webpage, are effective July 1.  The Guide is your one-stop resource for information related to GW time off and leave programs, such as annual and sick time, holidays, FMLA, paid parental leave and more.

Support

The benefits team is available Monday to Friday from 8:30 – 5:00 pm to help answer questions related to time off and leave.  You can also email us at timeoff@gwu.edu with questions and feedback.

 

*UPD employees covered under a CBA and medical residents will continue to use their current time off tracking system.
