Frequently asked questions
- Can we expect the additional day (December 23rd) to the Christmas break schedule to be observed by the university in the future?
- No, this will be a one-time addition to our normal Christmas break schedule. If you complete timecards, you will need to make sure that you enter the December 23rd through January 1st as a holiday. Here are additional instructions, https://hr.creighton.edu/sites/default/files/2020-07/timecards_biweekly_2020.pdf, you will need to add a new row and select ‘Holiday’ for the time type.
-
What do I do if my vacation request for December 23rd in myhr has been approved?
-
You will need to withdraw the vacation request in the myhr system and resubmit a new request if necessary, for example if you are taking multiple days off like December 21-22. To cancel the vacation request, you will need to go the Time and Absences tab, Existing Absences tab, and go to the record and withdraw the request.
