The PTO Team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire Administrative Staff for your invaluable support during the launch of the new Electronic Paid Time Off (PTO) program within Banner Self-Service, which went live July 1. As with any new software implementation there can be challenges. The PTO team has listened to feedback and is implementing changes. 

Going forward:

  • One particular component—the Request Time Off feature—in Banner Self-Service isn’t working as expected and will be disabled temporarily and corrected. 
  • Effective immediately please submit requests for time off directly to your supervisor using their preferred method—whether that’s email, departmental calendar, or a verbal request.
  • Please continue to enter your time taken for each month into your monthly Leave Report within Banner Self-Serve by the 8th of the following month and submit it to your supervisor for approval.
  • For future time-off requests already submitted but not yet approved for dates beyond Sept. 30, the Payroll Team will reach out to supervisors to facilitate approval.

The Payroll Team apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates your understanding as this feature is improved and hopefully relaunched in the future.
