Uploading Leave Requests

Uploading Leave Requests

This upload file will allow you to upload leave requests in bulk, for several employees or leave types, at once. This is particularly useful at Christmas time, when the company shuts down for the festive period.
This will upload the leave requests as pending, so the managers can either login and approve the applicable leave, or it can be approved by anyone with the applicable rights. The uploaded leave can also be approved in bulk.
