Filling Substitution Requests

From now on if you complete the "Fill a Substitution Request" for a shift you are going to be held responsible for it. If you fill out the form and find out later that you cannot cover that shift you should fill out the "Substitution Request Form," it is your responsibility to get it covered.

Thanks,
