The Supervisor does not need to re-approve the absence request for the Member.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

Absence requests follow an approval workflow where the supervisor reviews and authorizes time off to ensure staffing and policy compliance. If the member later changes the request—such as adjusting the dates, duration, or type of leave—the supervisor typically must re-approve the updated request to reflect the new arrangement, update leave balances, and keep payroll and schedules accurate. Because these changes can affect coverage and records, the idea that re-approval isn’t needed isn’t correct. Re-approval is usually required whenever the request is modified; only when nothing changes after initial approval would re-approval be unnecessary.
