Approving Leave Requests

Approving Leave Requests

Once leave approvals are set up in JobBag, leave approval managers and Payroll Administrators can receive approval requests, review leave balances, check who else is on leave and approve leave.

Access leave approvals

Leave approvals are accessed via the desktop application

Managers

Navigate to: JobBag menu > Approve Leave

Payroll Administrators

Navigate to: Payroll menu > Step1: Reconcile/approve Leave

Approve Leave in JobBag

You can approve leave without sending a leave approved email back to the employee.

If you have subscribed to leave notifications, employees will receive a notification that their leave has been approved when they next log into JobBag.

Email when approving leave

• Tick "Email when approved" (Bottom Left corner) before approving leave

Note: Your email settings will need to be configured before you can use this email feature.

Review who else has leave

Avoid conflicts and review who else has leave.

• Tick and include unapproved and Approved leave
• Enter the date range to view leave requests during a specific period (optional)

Forward Approval Email to Payroll Administrator

When a leave request is submitted, managers will receive an approval email.

They can review the details in the email and forward that email approving or declining the request to the payroll administrator.

Managers

✅ Tip: Using email approvals is faster, reduces paperwork, and helps streamline communication between managers and payroll.
