Why can I complete actions for some supervisors and not others?

Some options, such as inactivating a supervisor require that another supervisor be assigned to the organization. This is because each organization has to have at least one supervisor associated with it.

For the same reason, you can’t change a supervisor to a basic worker if they are the only supervisor assigned to the organization.

How do I know a request has been completed?

Requests can take up to two business days to process but on most occasions are completed within one business day.

Once the request is completed an automated email is generated to the user who submitted the request.

If you notice you have not received an email after the second business day:

Check to see if the email address on your Washington Connection/SAW ID is set to your current email address as this is where the email is sent.

Check your junk email folder to make sure your email system has not sent the email there. If it does show in your junk email folder, you may need to adjust your settings to allow emails from Washington Connection.
