3.b.2.  Employees who enter the USMC after 18 July 2021 and require access to OTL, must complete the Access Request Management Service (ARMS) process and the User Management (UMX) self-registration process found in paragraphs 4.c. through 4.e.

3.b.4.  All Employee Time Users must attest to the accuracy and completeness of their timecard prior to submission to their supervisor.

3.b.6.  All Employee Time Users leaving the USMC must deactivate their OTL account through the UMX module.
3.c.  Supervisor.
3.c.1.  A supervisor is any military or civilian who supervises civilian employees and is responsible for approving employee time and attendance.
3.c.2.  Supervisors must check worklist/workflow notifications every morning in OTL to ensure time and attendance actions are complete and accurate.
3.c.3.  Supervisors must approve employee timecards that have been amended due to auto-generated and auto-approved timecards.
3.c.4.  All Supervisors must identify a minimum of three proxies, one of those proxies should be an individual identified as a Command Default Proxy.
3.c.5.  Military supervisors must login to My-Biz to keep their account active.
3.d.  Limited Timekeeper.  Assist employees with modifying, attesting, and submitting timecards.
3.e.  Super Timekeeper/Human Resource Customer Service Representative (HR CSR).  It is important to note, the role, functions and responsibilities of the HR CSR does not indicate, link, or otherwise mean that this is a traditional Marine Corps Human Resources/Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, or G-1 specific role.
3.e.1.  Ensure all supervisors have identified a minimum of three proxies.  At least one of the three proxies should be an individual identified as a Command Default Proxy for all supervisors within the command.

3.f.2.  Command G-1s will establish local procedures to ensure continual updates due to normal civilian turnover and military supervisor rotations.
3.f.3.  Command G-1s will review, monitor, and take necessary corrective action to remove personnel who remain active in DCPDS but are no longer with Marine Corps.
3.f.4.  Command G-1s will NOT make adjustments to the civilian SF50 block 42 without DC PR approval.  Doing so will have a negative impact to the employees pay in OTL.
3.h.  Coordinating Instructions.
3.h.1.  Leave entries on a timecard must have a matching absence request for audit purposes.  Until an USMC Time and Attendance Policy is published follow local command policy regarding specific absence types (e.g. Fitness Leave, Admin Leave).
3.h.2.  When an employee submits any request, the first level supervisor has 14 days to take action. After 14 days, the request is forwarded to the second level supervisor at which time the first level supervisor can no longer take action.  The second level supervisor can reject the request or reassign back to the first level supervisor.  The 72 hour rule is temporarily increased to 14 days.  Further guidance regarding the future of this increase will be provided via separate correspondence. 
3.h.3.  Beginning on 01 Oct 2021, ARMS will interface with UMX.  Until that time, a SAAR submitted in ARMS and a self-registration request submitted in UMX is required.
