Time to report absences expanded

Employees can now enter their absences into SubFinder up to 1.5 hours prior to their scheduled start time. The change will go into effect March 1.

If you report the absence less than the 1.5 hours before your start, you must contact your campus administration or designee.  The designee must be an exempt, not hourly staff member.

For example:

A teacher becomes ill, and will not report for work. School starts at 7:45 a.m., and their scheduled start time is 7:15 a.m. The teacher may enter the absence into SubFinder up until 5:45 a.m. If the teacher reports the absence at 5:46 a.m. or later, they will not be able to enter the absence into SubFinder. The teacher must then contact the administrator (or designee) directly to report the absence AND call the Sub Technician to enter the absence into SubFinder.

Remember: start times will vary, depending on employees’ position and work location.
