Need To Be Absent From Work?

Non-Discretionary Absences are: Personal Illness, Family Illness, Funeral, or Jury Duty. *Please note that all MEDICAL absences (for self or family) should be coded as "Illness " in AESOP. Do not code them as "Personal", as it will trigger the campus approval process. Do not use "Vacation" unless you are a 226 (most of you are not). ***You need to contact the Admin (Flores) over Class Coverage immediately when it is an unexpected or illness same-day absence. If it is a pre-planned absence you do not need to contact the Admin (Flores) over class coverage because your absence has been approved and you have entered it into AESOP.
