Form Completion:
The online form was developed to mirror the existing Exempt Absence Reporting document (blue form),
to align with sustainable best practices, improve efficiencies and enhance internal controls.
The process includes a couple of simple steps: the employee completes the online form and the form is
emailed to the supervisor for review/approval. The supervisor will approve/deny the absence through
email, copying the employee and FDM.TimeAndAttendance@asu.edu for processing.

Required fields:
While completing the form, information on required fields will pop up in red font and highlighted in
yellow. Once the information required is entered, the pop up will disappear. If a required field is not
entered and the employee tries to submit the absence request, a message will appear as to what field
must be completed.

Requestor Information:
The form will automatically complete this section with the employees information, based on the
ASURITE USER ID and password used to log on.

If the email address is incorrect or blank, the employee must enter their asu.edu email address. The
form cannot be submitted unless a valid asu.edu email address is entered.

Work Schedule:
Select one of the three work schedule options. If 80 hours over 9 days or 10 hours, 4 days a week
schedule is selected, Day Off becomes a required field and the form cannot be submited until a Day
Off is selected. Additionally, 8-Hour Day is required to select, if 80 hours over 9 days is selected.

Requested Absence(s):

will require Hours, Type and Addl Absence Info to be entered for each date selected.
Under Addl Absence Info, select one of the following: N/A, Unexcused Absence, Unplanned Vacation,
Industrial Injury, FMLA, or Extended Leave Medical.

If the number of hours requested off is less than a full day, the employee must note in the comments
box the start and stop times for the absence if known.

Supervisors role:
Once the absence request is submitted, an email will be generated to the supervisor from
FDM.TimeAndAttendance@asu.edu with a copy to the employee. See example below.

If approved, the supervisor will click on Reply All, type Approved and click send. This action will copy
the employee that the absence is approved and will send the request to
FDM.TimeAndAttendance@asu.edu for processing.

If denied, the supervisor will click on Reply All, type Denied and click send. This action will copy the
employee that the absence is denied with a cc to FDM.TimeAndAttendance@asu.edu. This action will
cancel the original request.
Note: If the employee submitted the form to a supervisors designee in the event the supervisor was
absent, it is suggested as a courtesy that absent supervisor is copied when approving/denying the
request.

Form Corrections:
If a change or cancellation to a previously submitted and approved Exempt Absence Request is needed,
please see the staff in FDM Time and Attendance to pull the original request. The change will need to
be made to the form in writing, initialed, and dated by the employees supervisor.

Report:
Per SPP701-01: Sick Leave Benefits & SPP702-01: Vacation Leave Benefits: Supervisors are responsible
for recording and maintaining accurate records of sick leave or vacation taken by their employees,
including the reporting and approving of hours used. A department time administrator (DTA) may be
assigned to assist a supervisor in this task but it remains the supervisors responsibility.
To assist, after each payroll period, FDM Time and Attendance will email the FDM-Exempt Exception
Hours Report to immediate supervisors if any of their employees have taken sick leave or vacation
during that pay period. Please review the report and contact FDM Time and Attendance if you have any
questions regarding the information. See example below:
