The Time Off and Leave Guide (PDF) provides details on paid time off and leave of absence programs, including eligibility, accrual rates, manager tips and more.

All eligible employees* use the Time Reporting System (TRS) to request and manage time off. To help you navigate the system and accurately manage your time in the system, we recommend that you reference the helpful resources posted online

*GW Police Department employees covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement and Medical Residents, please use your departmental time off tracking system.

Note: Staff members who have timekeeping or time off processing access in the TRS are able to see their own time off requests but should not approve them. Their manager or their manager’s delegate should approve those requests.

Employees can review training resources and tip sheets on using the TRS for time off tracking and requests on the Managing My Time Off webpage. Managers can also review resources to assist with managing their employee's time off requests  on the Managing My Employees' Time Off webpage.
