How do I trigger action filters placed to sub methods which I am calling from the directly requested action method ?

In the below example SubmitViolation method will be requested from view and based on operation type I am calling other methods. I need to check the authorize permissions based on the operation type. But the action filters are not firing for SaveViolation and CertifyViolation.

Note: As per my requirement I should not use multiple forms in view and call separate action methods for each operation

[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[HttpPost] // action method requested directly from view
public ActionResult SubmitViolation(ViolationViewModel violationVM, string operation)
{
	if (operation == "Submit")
    {
		SaveViolation(violationVM); // calling sub methods based on operation value
    }
    else if (operation == "Certify")
    {
        CertifyViolation(violationVM);
    }
}

 // StaffAuthorize is custom authorize filter that accepts type of operation and checks the authorization permissions

 [StaffAuthorize(Enums.StaffFunction.Violations_Save)]
public ActionResult SaveViolation(ViolationViewModel violationVM)
{
    // Save Violation implementation
	
	return View();
}

[StaffAuthorize(Enums.StaffFunction.Violations_Certify)]
public ActionResult CertifyViolations(ViolationViewModel violationVM)
{
    //Certify Violations implementation

	return View();
}
