Good Morning,

As you know, we are given 4 holiday hours on Wednesday, December 23rd. If you are planning on using vacation time for the other half of December 23rd, please read the following carefully. The Holiday hours will not be loaded to timesheets until December 13th.  This is due to Shared Service’s timeline. Shared Services will only load 8 hours per day for holiday time. As a result, payroll will have to manually change the holiday hours on each employees’ timesheets from 8 hours to 4 hours for December 23rd. We estimate this will be completed by close of business on December 15th. Therefore, if you try to enter a leave request for December 23rd before December 16th, the system will only give you 1hr of vacation leave for that day. Please wait until December 16th to enter any leave request for December 23rd. If you have already entered a request for December 23rd, you will need to edit the request after December 16th to reflect the proper time. If you have any questions, please contact Tracy at payroll@highlands.edu
