Will some of you please tell me how you handle this form.I am the person who designed our leave form and I keep track of all of the time taken by employees. When someone calls in sick I fill out the form, deduct it from their sick time available,and when I do payroll I attach the form to their time cards for verification and date and signatures from the supervisor and employee. This way I make sure I get a form from everyone. My problem is this. We have a supervisor who criticizes just about everything I do. She went to our boss and said that I should not be filling these forms out. It should be done by the employee, even though the supervisors and employees must sign and date this form. The other supervisors appreciate me doing this since they do not know how much sick time each employee has available. I do the work for them. Is there anything WRONG with the way I do it? It works VERY well, I get the form back the way it should be done, and the supervisors don't have to call me everytime they want to know if someone has time available. Is there anything illegal about me filling the form out with their name, department, the type of leave it is and the hours deducted.....They still have to sign and date the form to verify what I write on the form.
Thank you all so much for your help..........

Thank you for your opinion. It's a great idea, however, I feel that it's my department, my form and my neck if the time requested isn't correctly administered. This is the reason for the form. Does that make sense? I really appreciate your time and help. It means a lot to me to get other advice. Thank you again James!

Are you making a mountain out of a molehill?
After considering all above, if you want to keep on completing the form, I see no reason why you shouldn't. Tell the supervisor that it is your responsibility and if they want to take it to a higher authority they can. Of course, you must be willing to have an adequate response to the 'powers that be' as to why you should keep the responsibility.
Good luck!
