Batch processing of leave is facilitated in BrightPay in a number of ways:
 

• users can record a number of separate leave dates for the same employee at the same time
   
• users can record a single leave date for multiple employees at the same time
   
• users can also record a number of separate leave dates for multiple employees at the same time

Unsetting leave dates for multiple employees
