Kit Carson uses a two-step absence reporting system and all employees are required to follow this system.

Here is a quick reference guide on how to properly report an absence:

1. Report your absence to your supervisor for approval: Time Off Request Form
   Note: When you select your Reason for Absence, if you choose a reason that has a * in front of it, you must disclose the reason in the following field.  Your supervisor will not approve your absence if you do not complete your form correctly.
    
2. Submit your absence in SmartFind: Kit Carson - SmartFind
   While step 1 is mandatory to notify your supervisor for approval, step 2 is required for payroll purposes. Both steps must be completed by all employees for all absences.

It is every employees' responsibility to report their own absences as soon as is reasonably possible - sending an email or text is not an acceptable alternative, unless in an urgent circumstance.
