On the Firefly Business portal, UNMC is reminding employees planning to use vacation hours around the Independence Day holiday on July 4 to pay special attention to requests that span the holiday.
Normally Employee Self Service (ESS) Leave will disregard the weekend and not charge vacation hours for Saturday and Sunday, but this is not the case when it comes to holidays.
Example: If an employee plans on taking vacation Friday, July 1 through Tuesday, July 5, he or she must submit a leave request for Friday and another request for Tuesday. Creating the two requests will then accurately post your vacation to your employee record.
Splitting of requested vacation time also will be necessary for leave requests spanning the Labor Day holiday weekend in September.
