VTA Absence Requests: Advocate Approvals

Updated on

Clients who need to miss a scheduled Vocational Training Assignment (VTA)—for a medical visit, a meeting with staff, or another high‑priority reason—must submit a VTA Absence Request Form. The request is reviewed in two steps: first by the client’s Advocate, and, if approved, by the Vocational Training Manager (VTM), who makes the final decision to approve or deny the absence.

From the Salesforce homepage.

1. Click ✅MSH Client Form Approvals.

2. Select the VTA Absence Requests Tab.

3. Locate new requests for your approval.

Tips for Reviewing Package Approvals:

  • Look for your name listed under Advocate Name on any row that is gray or white.

4. Review the information provided for the pass request.

Now you'll decide whether to approve or deny the request.

5. Click the dropdown arrow in the Advocate Approved? cell.
