Vacations are meant to be an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of life. For Clerks and their Deputies, however, it can be a very stressful time for those left in the office.

One thing every clerk can do to help alleviate some of this stress is to make sure there is at least one MAAP Supervisor (which is different than having Avitar Clerk Supervisor capabilities) is in the office when he/she goes on their coveted vacation. This will alleviate many issues that come up when the Clerk/MAAP Supervisor is out, and we are unable to assist our client because they don’t have these special credentials. For example: creating Short Slips, processing peeling plates, and supervisor overrides, just to name a few.

To add another person as a MAAP Supervisor, you will need to contact the MA Helpdesk, as they have a form for you to fill out, that gives them permission to add someone as a MAAP Supervisor in your office. This also allows your Deputies and Assistants to be more confident in their positions while you are out of the office.
