    BTW the sanction (if there was one) would be for 'failing to provide a signature' not failing to attend.

    If we're going to get picky, it would be 'failure to provide a signed declaration'. And as the OP arrived and was willing and prepared to provide such a declaration...

    not true, competency based promotion, relationship with boss is irrelevant.

    The OP could have waited 20 minutes to see his advisor, however chose not to do so. He can either arrange to attend within 5 days or his claim will be closed.

    his choice.

    I don't understand the vitriol in some peoples posts though.

    I've had to wait over 20 minutes after arriving for my actual sign-on time, because they were running late ...

    OP - I second the suggestion to get the CB changed to your name. Marley receives our CB (he's the SAHD) to get his NI credits without having to go through what we facetiously call the "ritual humiliation of signing on".
