University support staff Employees are expected to maintain a good attendance record. If the absence is to continue beyond the first day, the employee must notify the supervisor on a daily basis unless otherwise arranged. Absence for 3 consecutive working days without notifying the supervisor is considered a voluntary termination. Normally, excused absences will not exceed 10 working days in each fiscal year. The loss of wages will be reflected in the paycheck.
Prior approval is required for vacation or personal leave.
May approve up to 10 days per fiscal year of time off without pay. May approve time off without pay exceeding 10 days with approval of MSU Human Resource Services. Absences must be charged to appropriate credits including funeral, holiday, jury duty, military duty, personal leave, sick leave, vacation, family medical leave, etc. For employees on the hourly payroll with insufficient paid leave credits, report only the hours worked for the pay period. For employees on salary payroll, report hours of insufficient paid leave credits on the Attendance System .
