Important Notes:

Benefit eligible employees are responsible for accurately recording their absences by submitting the requests to their supervisor for approval.
Benefit eligible employees can enter absence hours via time cards OR via Absences section of Bronco Hub as outlined in the steps below. If you are an hourly employee and you choose to enter leave via Absences, the leave will be added to the applicable time card. Do not submit the same time off in both areas of the system.
Benefit eligible employees accrue vacation and sick leave based on hours of service. Visit the sick and annual accrual leave chart for details.
Submitted absences, whether submitted via time cards or the Absences section, must be approved by the employee's supervisor before being processed by Payroll.
Holiday hours are automatically entered and approved for applicable benefit eligible employees.

If you are requesting time away from work under the Family and Medical Leave Act (also known as FMLA) or Workers’ Compensation contact Human Resources.

Step 1: Log in to Bronco Hub and Access Time and Absences

Begin by signing in to Bronco Hub.
Select Me from the top navigation section of Bronco Hub and then select Time and Absences.
Select Add Absence.

Step 2: Select or Assignment

This step is only applicable if you have more than one active job. If you have one active job, skip this step.

If you have multiple assignments, you will see the Business Title field below the Type field. The value will default to All. Select the drop-down arrow to select the applicable assignment you are requesting an absence for. If you aren’t sure which one to select, ask your supervisor for assistance.

Step 3: Select the Absence Type

Select the applicable absence Type from the dropdown menu OR type the Time Reporting Code (TRC) into the Type field. View a list of all available time reporting codes here.

Step 4: Enter Absence Dates

Enter the Start Date and Duration and End Date and Duration for the absence.

The Hours field defaults to your scheduled work hours per day. For example, if you work 8 hours a day, the system will automatically calculate 8 hours for each day selected.

Step 5: Submit for Approval

Enter any relevant information in the Comments field below reported absences. Comments are not required by HR Payroll but may be required by supervisor.
Select Submit to route for approval.

What’s next:

Once your absence is submitted, your supervisor will receive a notification to review and approve or reject your time card. You will receive an email after your supervisor takes action on your absence; if your request is rejected or sent back to you for corrections, you must edit and resubmit the leave request for approval and processing.

After your absence is approved, the information will route to Payroll for processing.
