HRS Disability Services will be on campus September 21, 2017 from 1:30pm-3:00pm to conduct a workshop session for managers and supervisors on “Understanding and Managing Leave” This workshop will take a look at addressing the most typical leave issues and answer such questions as:

  • What type of leave should be used?
  • How should leave be requested?
  • Which leave requests are handled at the department level, and which should be directed to HRS?
  • How can the work be accomplished when employees are on extended leave?
  • Do the same rules apply when medical leave is due to on –the-job injury versus an ongoing condition?

Supervisory Training
The WSU Training for Supervisors Series consists of a set of courses that thoroughly explores the issues of supervision and management.  It is comprised of online courses, live seminars, interactive practicums and round table discussions. This blended learning approach allows participants to practice the skills required to be successful by applying specific learning objectives to hypothetical case studies drawn from the workplace.

All current supervisors and managers are welcome to attend these courses.  Review the schedule below and use the associated links to register for each course of interest to you.  The live workshops are available statewide via AMS Videoconferencing Services.  For those whose schedules or locations do not allow participation in the series as scheduled, Online Training for Supervisors offers comparable courses to consider.
