If you plan on using vacation/sick hours around Labor Day, please pay special attention to requests that fall over that weekend. Normally ESS Leave will disregard the weekend and not charge vacation/sick hours for Saturday and Sunday, but this is not the case when it comes to holidays. Example: if you plan on taking vacation/sick Friday, August 29 through Tuesday, September 2, you will need to submit a leave request for Friday and another request for Tuesday. Creating the two requests will then accurately post your vacation to your employee record.
