2.4.1. Processing Time – Related Requests

Time management is not a static activity but a process. Administering time for staff members should follow a clear process, as emphasized throughout this guide.

The best practice for each request type is to follow the direction of the guide:

1. Review the policy and practice for the request type.
2. Review the prerequisite documentation submitted by the staff member (if applicable) and liaise with the staff member if necessary to ensure that they provide all documentation or data necessary to have the request approved.
3. Review the procedures for processing the approval of the request type.
4. Follow each procedure to the end.
5. Carefully review the request in Umoja.
   

You are strongly urged to develop a good practice of following this process and completing each activity and procedure in order.

Guidelines on the timeframes for processing the different types of absence and attendance is available in iSeek.
