What is the Substitute Instructor Feature?

IN THIS ARTICLE:
Learn about the Substitute Instructor feature, which allows you to mark staff members as being absent on a specific date/date range and assign Substitute Instructors to fill in for them while they are out.

Why would I need to mark a staff member absent?

Life is unpredictable, and as much as we would like to have a set schedule for all employees, occasionally they are sick, need to attend jury duty or a funeral, need to be away for competitions or conferences, or just otherwise need some time off.

How do I assign a substitute instructor?

How does this affect the Staff Portal?

When an instructor is assigned as a substitute instructor, they will automatically be linked to the class(es) for which they are filling in for Staff Portal functions such as recording attendance or performing skill evaluations.

How does this affect the time clock?

When an instructor is assigned as a substitute instructor, they will automatically be linked to the class(es) for which they are filling in for the time clock on that date.

Which reports are available for locating substitute instructors?

  • Instructor Absences And Substitutions (STA-11)
    • Shows absences and substitutions for instructors within a specified date range.
  • Instructor Schedule Conflict Report (STA-12)
    • Generates a report showing all scheduling conflicts for instructors within a specified date range.

How are substitute instructors reflected in the system?
