Absentee App

There’s not a place to write in real reason for absence. It is also difficult to maneuver in the app

Complaint

I’m not sure if it is the app, the technology, or lack of subs. I am very disappointed in Support South. I have requested to have subs in plenty of time and my requests have not been filled. I have discussed the matter with subs before and they have complained about the app. They said that once they accept a job that the other options for the week disappear. I have to wonder if the technology is part of our problem.
