Applying for leave
Below is a video which shows the process of how to apply for leave when using zone portal on a mobile device. This video will show you the process of how to put through a request for leave which your supervisor will then be able to approve or deny. It will also show the screen where your requests and their status' will be kept (you should also receive an e-mail to let you know once your supervisor has made a decision on your request).
Posting Overtime
Below is a video which shows the process for entering shift times for casuals and overtime for any staff. This video will detail how you enter completed shifts if you are a casual as this will replace timesheets. The video will then also show how to apply for overtime which will then be either approved or denied by your supervisor. It will also show the status screen for your overtime requests (you should also receive an e-mail to let you know once your supervisor has made a decision on your overtime request).
Please Note: As mentioned in the video please make sure that you select the correct option in the "Pay Item" field for either Office or Non-office. Also, make sure you choose the correct rate for the overtime at either time-and-a-half (1.5) or double-time (2). As well as this it is also vitally important you enter your times and overtimes as soon as is possible as any mistakes or delays may lead to your request being denied or issues with your pay later down the line.
