(Do not delete Pro D days or Stat Holidays; enter the usual first 5 days you work for an until further notice absence.) The next screen is the Replacement Request screen where you can select up to 5 specific TOC replacements.

Alternately, once the CADS page is open, select View Or Change An Absence from the side navigation bar. This is the screen you will use to Close or Cancel an absence.

The Absence Details screen will come up and you should confirm the details of the absence and select the Button. Note: You can only use the Cancel Absence button if the absence hasn t started and no replacement has been dispatched.
