SubFinder Tidbits

Listen carefully - each main menu has several options listed under each heading.
Noon is 12:00 pm. Midnight is 12:00 am.
Enter absences for the next day by 8:00 pm so that SubFinder can locate a Substitute for you if one is needed.
SubFinder will accept only one (1) reason for an absence. Enter consecutive days with different reasons separately.
If you would like to have the same substitute cover multiple days of an absence, use the message section on SubFinder. Substitutes who are job shopping will be made aware of additional needs for the same position.
Half-day absences in the pm for that day MUST be reported to Deb Antonelli (724-458-6700, x1295).
Input the date using 4 digits for the month and day (EX. Feb. 5 = 0205). Input the time using 4 digits for the hours (EX. 3:30 pm = 0330 pm). LISTEN FOR THE JOB NUMBER. This will indicate that the absence has been reported correctly.
If you are attending a conference or workshop (approved through the IU blue travel form), you must report your absence to SubFinder.
You MUST call and leave a voicemail for Deb Antonelli at 724-458-6700, x1295 if you cannot report your absence through SubFinder or if you need personal assistance in reporting an absence.
