Booking Leave and Unavailability

From Wageloch Wiki

Using the WageLoch Mobile App and Staff Portal, your staff can send you a request for leave or submit unavailability. This guide will show you how to view those requests, edit them and approve or decline as necessary.

When your staff member has requested leave or unavailability, you will receive an email notifying you (if you turned this on during the setup) and WageLoch Roster will notify you when you next open it.
