How can I request a sub for a planned absence?

Request a substitute by

In slack, in any channel, type the slash command/substitute and then hit “enter” to begin a sub request
Select the relevant event
Your sub request will post to #admin-planned-absence and your sub will be selected in 24 hrs or less depending on the time of the event relative to the sub request
If no one volunteers within 24 hrs, the sub request will stay open until the request is filled
If it is less than 2 hrs before the class and no sub is selected, your sub request will automatically post to #admin-urgent-issues
If your sub is selected more than 2 hrs before the event, register your sub to the AV event as a Teacher (not as a TA or Attendee)
If your sub is selected less than 2 hrs before the event, add your sub as a TA (not a Teacher or Attendee)

Note: This functionality is an experiment and may be discontinued in the future.

In rare circumstances, you may recommend a sub.
You should only do this when going on an extended vacation (>1 week) or to help someone achieve net zero substitutions.
You should not recommend a sub for any other reason. All teachers at Synthesis are qualified and capable of teaching all classes.
The recommended sub will receive a message letting them know they were recommended. If they react with a ✅ on the teacher bot message, they will receive the sub.
