General Question - As a supervisor, how do I sign on to my own information (for example, to request leave)?: In order to see your employee information when you are a supervisor, you would go to the right side of your screen where you see the word “Workspaces”. There is a dropdown arrow next to that. This is called a “Carousel”. When you select the dropdown, you can then scroll through more workspace options. One of those says “Employee Workspace”. If you hover over the words “Employee Workspace” it will become underlined and act as a link. Click on the underlined words and the Employee Workspace should open as an additional tab in the main part of your screen.
