Using The Create And Maintain Absence Requests Screen
The Create and Maintain Absence Requests screen is available to Leave Keepers and HR Admins. It is used to view, submit, edit, or cancel regular absence requests on behalf of your employees.
This is separate from the Administer Extended Absences screen, which is generally maintained by HR. You may be able to view some extended absence requests, but you will not be able to enter or maintain extended absences from the Create and Maintain Absence Requests screen.
IMPORTANT: When using Create and Maintain Absence Requests, please be aware of the following as they may result in processing errors and/or data inaccuracies.
– Do not delete existing absence requests unless instructed to do so.
– Do not overwrite existing absence requests appearing in the Absence Requests section.
– Do not work on an absence request if the Status is “Pending”.
– After clicking the “Forecast” button, check forecasting results on the Forecast tab.
– Remember to clear or update any saved From/Through Date search parameters in the search section at the top of the screen. NOTE: It is not recommended to save any searches because it will override the default From/Through Date parameters which are 3 months before and 3 months after the current date.

During forecasting the HIP system will determine if an employee has enough sick or vacation balance to cover a leave request. This is based on existing leave requests the employee has and their entitlements. If the employee does not have a sufficient sick or vacation balance, their request will need to be adjusted or the system may generate LWOP. NOTE: HIP considers saved leave requests during the forecasting process. Please make sure all saved requests are submitted or deleted to ensure accurate forecasting.
STEPS
1. In this case, a vacation request for 40 hours from 10/24/22 – 10/28/22 was entered on the Create and Maintain Absence Requests screen. Prior to submitting, the leave request was forecasted.
2. To view forecasting results, click on the “Forecast” tab of the Absence Requests section. In this case, we can see the employee has an available vacation balance of 28 hours and the Forecast Value is “INELIGIBLE”. This means the employee does not have enough to cover the 40-hour vacation request from 10/24/22 – 10/28/22 and this request must be adjusted.
