Do I need to book a sub when I book time off?

  • As per an email from the SFE Operator on 12/13/2004:
    • “Generally, if your absence is under 2 hours and can be covered internally, no sub required is preferred. If the absence cannot be covered internally, a replacement must be called out for 4 hours minimum. Employee accruals will only be deducted for the time the employee has taken, not the replacement time.”
