What types of absences do I enter in Frontline (Aesop)?

You will enter all absences in Frontline, including sick days, personal days and professional days, regardless of whether you require a substitute.  Personal day requests will be routed electronically to the appropriate administrator for approval, and you will no longer need to complete a personal day request form.  In the case of a professional day, please enter the absence in Frontline and also continue to complete the appropriate professional leave request form.
