Is it legal for my supervisor to submit a leave application form on my behalf without my approval? I have recently had to take paid carers leave and submitted a leave application form as supplied from my HR Department. This form was filled out by me, then emailed to my supervisor. My supervisor then filled out a different leave application form (incorrectly) and submitted it to my payearoll department without my knowledge. As the second form was incorrectly filled out, I was only paid a fraction of what I originally applied for. Having spoken to payearoll, they are refusing to pay the remaining amount due to the fact that it was filled out incorrectly.
Am I entitled in my employee rights to the original amount of paid leave I applied for, and if so, is my payearoll department obligated to pay me the difference?
