Upload Supporting Documents to Leave Requests

As an employee, you can attach supporting documents to your Self-Service requests for leave. For example, you can attach a doctor’s certificate to sick leave requests or a birth certificate to paternity leave requests. Leave approvers are able to access these documents uploaded when viewing your leave requests.

How to upload supporting documents

You must be set up for Self-Service in order to use this function. Contact your payroll administrator if you have not been set up.

1. Log in to SimplePay and go to Requests > Leave Request.
2. Follow the steps to submit a leave request here.
3. On the yellow Request Details panel, under Supporting Documents (if applicable), click Upload new files > Choose File to browse and attach supporting documents from your computer.
4. You can give your document upload a title in the relevant field.
5. If you wish to upload further documents, click the Upload new files button again.
