Employees can access Banner and their timesheets via the LeoOnline portal (login with MIDAS ID).

All leave must be earned before it can be used. As far as practicable, a leave of absence with pay will be granted at the time requested by the employee. Leave shall be requested in advance and is subject to the needs of the department. Where the need for or time of an absence cannot be anticipated (i.e. illness) and where conditions warrant, the supervisor may approve leave after an absence.
