Step 1 – Reconcile & Approve Leave

The Browse Leave Events window is used by payroll administrators and authorised managers to review, reconcile, and approve employee leave.

From this screen, administrators can:

Enter leave on behalf of employees
Approve leave requests
Send approval notifications to managers
Review leave balances and history

Important:

All leave must be approved before it will appear on a payslip and before processing the payroll for that cycle.

Standard leave types—Annual Leave, Personal Leave, and Public Holidays—are included in JobBag’s default payroll configuration. Any additional leave types must be created and mapped separately.
