Some members are reporting supervisors are discouraging the filing of a SCAR and iSTAR even when they are clearly warranted. In this situation, invite your supervisor to join you in a consultation call to an Operations Coordinator or Regional Director. Exercise your professional courage muscle and call on your own if the supervisor declines to participate.
Administrators should never be told by a supervisor not to report, file a SCAR and/or iSTAR. “Employees are not required to obtain assistance from a supervisor prior to filing a SCAR. An employee’s reporting responsibility must not be impeded by a supervisor or other person.” (BUL-1374.5, XIII. Prohibited Actions).
