Timekeeping/Leave

Staff Handbook
The Staff Handbook is a synopsis of policies governing staff of UMBC and is not intended to represent contractual terms of employment. The policies outlined in this document may change and UMBC reserves the right to change, or discontinue without notice, any plan, program, benefit, term or condition set forth within the handbook.
More detailed interpretation and administration of these policies are made by the Human Resources Department (HR). Changes will be posted on the HR website. Please contact HR if you need an explanation or clarification of any item mentioned in the Handbook (410-455-2337).

Time Entry & Leave Processing Manual
HR has developed a comprehensive manual to aid supervisors and leave preparers in the recording and processing of time and leave for UMBC faculty and staff. The manual provides information not only for excluded staff, but also for staff covered in the nonexempt bargaining units and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). Click the link(s) below to review the Time Entry & Leave Processing Manual, as well as leave policies under the MOU documents for each bargaining unit.
- Memorandum of Understanding – Nonexempt Bargaining Unit (Sections 6-7 and 10-13)
- Memorandum of Understanding – Sworn Police Officers Bargaining Unit (Sections 15-18)
Questions related to time entry and leave processing should be directed to the HRIS Manager at 410-455-3646. Questions for either MOU should be directed to the Director of Employment and Labor Relations.
