If the employee has sick and/or vacation leave available and the employee is unable to request leave, their supervisor or Leave Keeper are able to request leave on behalf of the employee.  Once the employee exhausts all applicable leave, then any remaining time the employee is out from work will need to be recorded as Leave Without Pay (LWOP).  Please note the system will not "automatically" process LWOP.  LWOP needs to be input directly by the employee, supervisor or Leave Keeper for the system to be able to process.
