ELMO!
The Clerk’s Office of the Court of Appeals will
begin using the Electronic Leave
Management Organizer (ELMO)
in March of 2002.
ELMO requires that employees record
their own leave requests electronically. Supervisors will receive electronic notice of their staff’s
leave requests and will be able to approve the requests electronically
as well. ELMO
will only allow requests if employees have, or are projected to
have, enough leave of the type specified by the time the leave is to
be taken. This eliminates manual verification of leave
balances before approval takes place.
ELMO
does away with printed leave
requests. ELMO keeps an electronic password, this password
is used to protect your official leave record.
Personnel will issue your password to you. It is strongly recommended that this password remain confidential.
If you believe that the confidentiality of your password has
been violated, please contact Personnel for a new password.
With ELMO,
employees will be able to track their own leave balances for present
and future pay periods at any time.
The system is able to project leave balances based on assumed
accruals and posted leave requests.
There will no longer be a need for quarterly leave status reports.
For managers, an ELMO
calendar lists all employees with approved leave requests each day. To see who is or will be out on a given day,
you can scroll through the months and click on the appropriate date. This feature can be used to determine if the
approval of leave requests will compromise departmental coverage.
At the end of each pay period, managers will print
their bi-weekly Report Certification Form using ELMO. This
report lists all of the leave taken by each of the staff in the department
and acknowledges that everyone in the section worked their scheduled
hours and/or used the appropriate amounts of leave.
This report is to be printed, signed and delivered to the Office
of Personnel. When Personnel receives all of the manager’s
reports, they will close the pay period and update everyone’s
accrual figures and ending balances.
This report will take the place of the present leave verification
that is produced in WordPerfect and e-mailed.
