Uploading of Leave Requests

Upload Leave Requests

This upload file will allow you to add leave requests in bulk, for several employees or leave types at once. This is can be useful at Christmas, when there are standard days all employees can apply for leave, such as company days or a shut down period.

The leave requests are added as pending, leave approvers can then login to approve the leave, or it can be approved by anyone with Paymaster access. The uploaded leave can also be approved in bulk.

For more information here: Leave Types
