Admin Guide: ASCENDER EmployeePortal Leave Requests Setup

The purpose of this document is to guide you through the necessary steps of setting up Security Administration and Payroll in order to take complete advantage of the benefits associated with using the leave request feature in EmployeePortal.

Some of the images and examples provided in this document are for informational purposes and may not completely represent your LEA’s process.

This document assumes you are familiar with the basic features of the ASCENDER Business system and have reviewed the ASCENDER Business Overview guide.


Set up Supervisor and Temporary Approver Profiles

Before an employee can be set up as a supervisor, approver, or temporary approver, the employee must have a security user profile.

  1. Create a demographic record.
  2. Create a security profile.

Set up Payroll Options

If you have not already, perform the following tasks to ensure that the leave request feature in EmployeePortal is properly set up and functions as intended for employee and supervisor users.

  1. Set the standard work day.
  2. Define the units of hours or days to be used when calculating leave requests.
  3. Assign leave types and balances for each applicable pay frequency.
  4. Manage leave pay campuses.
  5. Designate the employee/direct supervisor relationship.

Enable the Leave Request Feature

  1. Set up district EP options.

After the above steps are completed, employees can submit leave requests in EmployeePortal.

Ensure that all employees are set up with a user name and password, and can log on to EmployeePortal. If not, review the Employee Guide: Create Account & Login for additional information about user setup.

Admin Note: The payroll department will use the Utilities > Import Online Leave Requests page in the ASCENDER Payroll application to import the leave request(s) from EmployeePortal and create a leave transmittal to be processed by payroll. After a leave transmittal has been created in Payroll, the employee can no longer edit or delete the leave request.
