The Absence / Leave Request process includes the following steps:

1) An employee logs on and submits an Absence / Leave Request and indicates whether a substitute is required and supplies the other required details. The request status is "New."

2) The request appears in the building administrator panel and is approved or denied by the administrator (or designee). The status changes to "Pending" or "Denied."

3) Pending requests appear in the central office administration panel and are approved or denied by the central office administrator (or designee). The request station will then be either "Approved" or "Denied."

4) Requests that are "Approved" AND that require a substitute are displayed in the Substitute Manager Panel as Approved Requests to be processed.

5) The Substitute  Manager arranges for the substitute(s) for the date(s) required and updates the information in the A/L Request database.

6) Substitutes can login and view past and future assignments. After an assignment has been completed, a substitute is required to electronically "sign" the appropriate timesheet.

An employee may Rescind an New, Pending, or Approved request that is dated in the future. The Rescind will trigger an Alert to the building administrator, the central office administrator and the substitute manager (if a substitute had been scheduled).
