Employee Self-Service > Requests > Leave Requests > 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.
