Effective September 27, 2024, we will no longer be using the employee KIOSK for absences. Absence Management (Frontline) will be the new platform we are transitioning to for all leave requests. Previously approved Sick, Personal, or Vacation Leave requests that have already been submitted in KIOSK for dates beyond September 27th will be processed by HR in the background of Absence Management and will not need to be resubmitted.
Professional Leave for dates beyond September 27th will need to be resubmitted in Absence Management.
Kiosk will be replaced with Employee Self Service (ESS) for access to W2s and paystubs. Please refer to the Understanding Your Pay section.
All absences must be entered into Absence Management as soon as possible. Your absences would include sick leave, personal leave, vacation leave (if applicable), professional leave, jury duty, and military leave.

Types of Absences
- Sick Leave: You will receive 1.25 days per month, for a total of 15 days per year. Sick leave will roll over from year to year and can accumulate up to 285 days.
- Personal Leave: You will receive up to 3 days of personal leave per year and these days do not roll over from year to year. Personal leave must be approved in advance by your supervisor. Personal leave can not be used the day before or after a holiday or when school is not in session. Please refer to Board Policy or negotiated agreement for further details.
- Vacation Leave: Full-time 260 days employees will earn vacation based on Board Policy. Administrators may accrue up to 30 days of vacation. Classified staff may accrue up to 35 days of vacation.
- Professional Leave: Your supervisor must approve all requests for professional leave. Once you receive approval from your supervisor to attend a professional development event, you must enter your professional leave request into Absence Management. When you select professional leave, you must include a complete Professional Leave Request Form. A blank Professional Leave Request Form and Directions are attached to the absences request in Frontline for your convenience.
- Jury Duty: If you are called for jury duty, please let your supervisor know and submit your time in the kiosk. The ESC will continue to pay your salary and any money you receive from the court needs to be sent to the Treasurer’s Office.
- Military Leave: Please send HR a copy of your orders to report.
If you will be out for an extended period of time, please contact the Human Resources Department.
