4.1.2. Process

The process for successfully recording No MSA or MSA Override requests includes these procedures and roles:

1. The person responsible for time and attendance at the duty station enters all the absences of military personnel from the duty station in a timely manner in the current system. Time spent away from the Mission location is communicated to the Time Senior Administrator.
2. MSA payments are automatically disbursed every time to civilian and military personnel assigned to serve in a Mission location where MSA is payable. The Time Senior Administrator only needs to monitor their attendance to determine which days should be marked as not entitled to MSA (because of travel outside the mission area, for instance)
   However, in the case of civilian and military personnel, their attendance record keeping is not done in Umoja. Therefore, the Time Senior Administrator in charge of making deductions for MSA needs to be in close contact with the person dealing with time and attendance of civilian and military personnel to obtain their absence information. This is done offline. Umoja will only be used to record no MSA days or MSA Override.
