BON ACCORD CARE/BON ACCORD SUPPORT SERVICES ANNUAL LEAVE – CoreHR

Annual leave has been uploaded and is now available to book on CoreHR and as such should no longer be recorded/booked via YourHR.

If you do not have a visible balance then you should contact AskHR@aberdeencity.gov.uk

Points to note:

  • Annual leave is shown in CoreHR as hours and minutes as opposed to hours and decimals
  • The current leave year for BAC staff 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 is shown as 2020 in CoreHR
  • Annual leave will now be accrued in calendar days as opposed to completed months
  • Any agreed carry forward as a result of long term sick leave/maternity leave will be manually input at the HR Service Centre

    Full Guidance on how to book leave on CoreHR is available at  COREHR GUIDES and you will also find additional information and FAQ’s by clicking HERE 

    Annual leave is now available to book on CoreHR and any annual leave carried over from 2019 has been transferred to your balance.  This will show as “remaining” leave for 2019 and will carry forward automatically to 2020. 

    Your annual leave balance for 2020 will not be visible until 3rd January 2020, when the new annual leave year starts, however this does not prevent you booking leave for next year.  

    Purchased annual leave has not yet been included in your 2020 entitlement but should be available by the end of January 2020. 

    Full guidance on how to book leave on CoreHR are available at  CoreHR guides  and you’ll also find additional information and FAQ’s by clicking here

    Please note – If you still have leave to take in 2019 – please do not book this through CoreHR – 2019 annual leave should only be booked via YourHR

    Continuous Review and Development (CR&D) is here which replaces the former appraisal system/process PR&D which was previously completed via YourHR

    All the information you need can be found on the CR&D pages via the links below:

    Trigger Notifications and a manager’s request form now available.  Annual Leave booking coming soon!

    Trigger notifications and a leaver request form for managers have now been activated on CoreHR.  Annual leave booking for 2020 will be available from early December and look out for more manager and employee request forms becoming available.

    Trigger Notifications

    From 14 November, managers will start to receive trigger notifications when an employee in their work group hits one of the following sickness absence triggers:

    • Abatement trigger – where an employee has had over 90 days of sickness within a rolling year, their annual leave should be abated.
    • Supporting Attendance trigger – where an employee has had a minimum of 10 days and/or 3 instances of sick leave, they should be managed under the Supporting Attendance policy.
    • Return to work – where an employee’s absence is closed but the return to work has not been completed, the manager will receive a reminder to complete the return to work interview.

     Manager request form

    Also from 14 November, a manager request form to notify AskHR of an employee leaving will also be available.  This form can be used for any employee within your team who has left or is planning to leave and allows a smooth end to their employment.  Please note that employees can still use YourHR to submit their resignation too.  Keep an eye out for more managers forms becoming available such as

    • Badge replacement request
    • Changes to work pattern
    • Death in Service

     Annual Leave

    Annual leave bookings for 2020 will be done via CoreHR.   There are a few things you will need to be aware of.

    • Annual leave booking in CoreHR requires an employee’s work pattern/shifts type to be correctly input – you may be contacted to provide this information where it isn’t available/correct in other sources.
    • Annual Leave booking will be launched at the beginning of December. You will not be able to book annual leave for 2020 before this time. 
    • All annual leave for 2019 should continue to be booked through YourHR.
    • Further guidance on annual leave booking will be made available when it is launched

    As part of our Digital Journey within the Transformation Programme, we would like to introduce the next phase of the rollout CoreHR. 

    What to Expect? 

    As part of the initial rollout of CoreHR, your electronic payslips can already be found in CoreHR.  The introduction of your new payslips was the first step on our journey with CoreHR, which will expand into other areas of work bringing increased functionality and control over your own information. 

    The following elements will now be available on CoreHR/will be available on CoreHR from 26th August 2019: 

    • Accessing Manager Dashboard – Manager’s will have access to view their team members information. 
    • Logging an Absence – Manager’s will be able to record an absence for their team members.  
    • Updating an Absence – Manager’s will be able to update an absence for their team members.   
    • Closing an Absence – Manager’s will be able to close off an absence for their team members.  
    • Delegating Access – Manager’s will be able to delegate access to other managers.  This means that managers with delegated access will be able to complete actions on their behalf (e.g. closing an absence for members of other teams).
    • Requesting Special Leave – Employees will now be able to apply for special leave (both paid and unpaid).  
    • Approving Special Leave – Managers will now be able to approve or reject special leave (both paid and unpaid) 

      Some information to be aware of with these new features in CoreHR: 

      • Accessing Manager Dashboard – All team information has been migrated over from YourHR.  However, if you discover an error, please inform your Service Area Manager so they can contact AskHR.  For example, this might be the name of your team. 
      • Delegating Access Tool – Manager’s will only be able to delegate access to other people managers.  People managers will be able to delegate access to other people managers to complete actions on their behalf.    An Administrator Function is under development and will be implemented in due course.  Please keep checking back for developments on the Delegation Tool 
      • Supporting Attendance – All absence information from the last 2 years have migrated over to CoreHR.  Managers will not be required to re-enter absences that have already been opened in YourHR, only new absences should be entered into CoreHR from 26th August 2019.  Absences should continue to be managed under the supporting attendance procedure as how it is already being managed through 
      • Special Leave Requests – Only Paid and Unpaid Special Leave can be requested and approved through CoreHR at the moment.  Please request all other leave through YourHR.  These leave requests will be migrated over to CoreHR at a later date.  Special Leave should be processed using the Special Leave Procedure
      • Approving Special Leave Managers can approve or reject Special Leave for their team members.  Managers will also be able to log, amend and close Special Leave on the behalf of employees.  Special Leave should be processed using the Special Leave Procedure
