What does the Commander's Support Staff (CSS) do in the leave request process?

The Commander's Support Staff (CSS) plays a crucial role in the leave request process by reviewing the leave request for accuracy. This includes ensuring that the information provided in the request is complete and complies with regulations and policies. The CSS verifies essential details such as the member's eligibility for leave, the correct dates, and any accompanying documentation that may be required.

By performing a thorough review, the CSS helps prevent issues that could arise if a request were improperly filled out, which could lead to delays or denials. This step is vital for maintaining orderly leave management within the organization, supporting both the individual requesting leave and their supervisors in making informed decisions. The involvement of the CSS thus streamlines the process and enhances the efficiency of leave management.
