Swag allows employers and managers to conduct many management activities, such as approving or declining leave requests, reviewing and approving staff goals and feedback, and viewing events in the workplace calendar, from the convenience of a mobile device.
Helpful Hint
If claims, rostering or leave management are some of your most commonly-used features, then they will appear on the Swag home screen as a shortcut for easy access.
Important
Please note that claims are referred to as expenses in the Swag app.
