Time and Leave ReportingInformation for Faculty March 24, 2014
What is Time and Leave Reporting? • Time and Leave Reporting (TLR) is a web-based reporting application that allows eligible faculty members (IFO and MSCF) to submit leave requests. This system will provide one location where you will submit leave requests, track their approvals, find your leave balances, and review a history of all of your time reporting. • This electronic process replaces the previous paper based system. This process does not replace the regular communication you have with your supervisor regarding your academic schedule, work time, and time off.

STAR ID and Logging In • Star ID is required to log into Time and Leave Reporting. • New employees must have a Star ID to access the system. • The link that campuses direct employees to will continue to workfor now. At some point we will work with campuses to change the name of their link and redirect it, but for now we have that working behind the scenes. • A direct link to the Time and Leave Reporting login page can also be used: https://webproc.mnscu.edu/tlr/
Browser • Firefox 25.0 or greater is the optimal browser that is supported for Time and Leave Reporting. • Internet Explorer 9 or above, Chrome or Safari (Mac Users) may be used for Time and Leave Reporting. • Internet Explorer 8 or lower will allow access, but not all of the functionality will be available.
Mobile Technology Although Time and Leave Reporting is being built for mobile technology, the first releases do not yet have that functionality fully enabled. • An email will be sent to you when this technology is available for Smart phones and tablets.
Navigation This application consists of two screens which are accessed by tabs on the top of the screen. • The Manage Requests tab is the default, and the screen allows you to create, edit or delete leave requests, as well as review requests that have previously been entered in the Time and Leave Reporting application. • The View Balances tab displays leave balances and leave history for all MnSCU institutions where leave has been earned or used.
Navigation (continued) • Timesheets: In the top navigation bar, there is a link to the Timesheet, which would apply to employees who complete a timesheet and supervisors. Faculty will not use this option unless they are a supervisor, or if they also have a MnSCU position that requires a timesheet. • State Self Service: To go to State of MN Self Service where your pay stub is located, click on the State Self Service tab. You will need your State of Minnesota ID and password to access this site.

Note: If you select Sick Leave for a type, you must select a Sub Type. • Duration: Depending on the leave type chosen, the duration will appear in either days (if days, you must indicate whether the absence is Half-Day AM , Half-Day PM, or both for all day) or hours (IFO sick leave only). IFO - Personal leave must be taken in all-day increments. MSCF - Personal Leave may be taken in half-day or full day increments. • Comments: Enter Reasons/Comments if desired.

MSCF Adjunct Faculty - Sick, Personal and Bereavement Usage Adjunct MSCF faculty members are NOT eligible to use accrued paid leave. In Article 14, Section 6. Pro-Rata, the language excludes the entire provisions of Section 3. Sick Leave, Section 4. Bereavement Leave, and Section 5. Personal Leave from applying to adjunct faculty. These entire sections cover accrual and usage, hence adjuncts are not eligible to use any leave that they previously accrued while working as a temporary part-time faculty member.
Adjunct IFO Faculty • Per Article 17, Section A, Subd. 10, adjunct faculty will no longer accrue sick leave hours. • The current contract language states, “Adjunct and community faculty shall be allowed to miss all or part of two class days each semester for reasons set forth in Subd. 5 without loss of pay.” • Adjunct and community IFO faculty will see a leave type of MCD (missed class day).
Resources • User Guides can be found by going to the Help link in Time and Leave Reporting. Your StarID and password are required to access these documents.
