Primula

The person or persons appointed as substitute officers for cases in Primula according to the current approval plan must apply for the role of ”substitute approving officer” via Lucat. Once their authority has been approved in Lucat, they will appear as available for selection as substitutes. Before an absence, you can then go in to Primula, select My page/Personal settings and appoint a substitute.

Approval rights are limited; the substitute does not have access to cases that are reported using the “Minirapporting” form and charged to cost centre 999 (i.e. remuneration for temporary or hourly staff). The regular reporting manager needs to process these cases on an ongoing basis before or after their leave since the substitute does not have access to them.
