Leave approvers can be given access into CloudPayroll, to approve and/or enter their employees leave requests. This access is setup by main users into CloudPayroll.
How to login
CloudPayroll will send a
system generated activation email upon creation of your access.
If you are unable to find you
activation email, attempt to log in with your Username/Organization ID provided by your Payroll Manager. Click on the "Reset
my password" link and you will be emailed a link to set a new

When an employee requests
leave, an email will be sent to their approver when the request is made.
The approver will then receive an email every morning until the request
has been actioned.

balance.

the "Projected Leave" tab.
