    • From the Personal Actions tab, click Leave and choose "Leave Balance" or "Leave History".

    • When finished, be sure to sign out of ESS -at the top right of the screen, click on LOG OFF.

    Note: Leave balance reflects information posted through the most recent pay period. For example: 01/25/21 is the last check date, then the leave is posted through December.

    • Personal leave comes out of your sick leave balance.

    • Each school year, you can use five Personal days.

    • In Employee Self Serve when you use a Personal day, you will see it come out of your Sick leave balance and out of the Personal leave balance. The date in ESS is the payroll date it was posted, not the absent date. Ex. A day taken in November will be posted on the December check date.

    • The Personal leave balance is just a counter to keep track of how many Personal days you have taken for the school year.
