Approving absences for administrative and services staff

Role required: ASP Area Manager


Who approves ASP staff

Absences of administrative and services staff are approved by whoever is recorded as the Area Manager of the ASP department.

Working in the secretariat does not grant this: everyone else on the team requests their absences like anyone else at the centre and approves none.


Approving or refusing

Employee Attendances > Absences > Management > Absences.

Only your area’s requests appear there, in state Pending while they await a decision.

Absences list, with Approve/Refuse actions on a pending request

You have access to the written reason and the supporting document of your own people, and you can adjust Adds the hours to the monthly report, Filed through ATRI and Whole day?, as well as correcting the absence type.

Refusing is final, and it asks for confirmation first: once you refuse a request, neither you nor the employee can put it back to Pending, so the employee would have to file a new one. The supporting document, on the other hand, can be attached at any point, on a request that is already approved included.

Approving is your half: Direction approves each absence too, in the Direction status column, which you can see but not change. The Status column combines both.

Those fields and the two reports are covered in the Head of Studies manual, and apply to your area in the same way.


Your own absences

Requested like anyone else’s — see Requesting an absence. As an Area Manager, your own request is decided by Direction.
