Establishing a Section 34 Manager in Phoenix

Every employee must select a Section 34 manager in Phoenix. Your Section 34 manager will validate your work schedule in Phoenix, enter time on your behalf and/or approve any payable time or leave without pay (LWOP) for five days or less entered via Self Service. This must be done each time an employee is rehired or starts\ends an acting.

In situations where an employee does not have access to Phoenix Self-Service, Section 34 Managers can select an employee within their group.

Note: Failure to establish a Section 34 Manager will result in no payments made for overtime, salary for Time Reporter employees and/or overpayment situations.

Employee Responsibilities:

This must be completed each time you have a new Section 34 manager and it is required before you enter any payable time or LWOP for five days or less.

  1. In Phoenix Self-Service
    Select:
    Main Menu ❯ Self Service ❯ Time Reporting ❯ Select Section 34 Manager
  2. Refer to the Self Service Select Section 34 Manager in Phoenix procedure in the User Productivity Kit for more details.

To change Section 34 manager

If you change reporting relationships (S34 manager), you must update Phoenix accordingly. Phoenix Self-Service will not allow you to delete your previous Section 34 manager's information; you must add the new Section 34 manager with the current date (date of entry in Phoenix Self-Service). You cannot backdate a Section 34 manager. Once you have added your new Section 34 manager, any outstanding time that has not yet been approved will be sent to the new manager.

Section 34 Manager Responsibilities:

You may establish the Section 34 Manager relationship to yourself on behalf of your employee. This should be completed before entering any payable time on behalf of the employee or approving any payable time that had previously been submitted.
