Sub Requests

In extraordinary circumstances, communicate directly with the supervisor about scheduling problems. Otherwise, sub requests are filled on a first-come, first-served basis:

1. Find someone to take your shift! Post a message on the #subrequests channel on Slack. Specify the day and time of the tour! Use the format below to post subrequests

                               date: Put the date of the tour
                               time: Put the time of the tour

                               reason: Explain your reason for giving up tour, remember that these are for reasons such as appointments, meetings, interviews, etc. 

If a request is denied or you are unable to find a sub, then you are expected to be in attendance for the scheduled tour. If you are a no-show, it will result in a strike.
