Creating and approving leave requests ensures time off is recorded accurately and linked to payroll and rostering. Employees can submit requests for annual leave, sick leave or other entitlements, and managers review these before approval. Keeping a record of leave requests supports compliance with workplace agreements and helps maintain accurate staffing plans. This guide explains how to create and approve a leave request.
