AIMS This Week - July 24, 2025

Story

Long-term leave request process change

What’s changing?

Long-term leave requests are any leave type that exceeds a duration of 30 days. Effective immediately, employees will no longer submit long-term leave requests directly in the system. Managers must now submit leave of absence requests on your behalf once the leave is approved.

What you need to do:

Continue to discuss your long-term leave plans with your manager as you normally would.

Release 3 information sessions

Upcoming information sessions are available to walk you through key features of the new system, including demonstrations and question and answer opportunities. Go to the AIMS information button on MyConnection for more information on dates, times and locations.

System enhancements

As employees go live in MyScheduling, suggestions are coming in for how to improve parts of the system. Although feedback is important and always appreciated, the project team isfocused on supporting employees in the remaining releases. This is the top priority. Minimal enhancements should be expected until all go-live releases are completed.
