Leave Management

Leave management is the process of managing leave and time-off requests through a series of business-specific guidelines, rules and policies. These time-off requests include vacation time, public holidays, sick leave, family emergencies and parental leave. 

Standard leave management involves four main activities:

  • Manipulating staffing requirements to retain business functioning
  • Enforcing legal compliance
  • Verifying adherence to business policies
  • Maintaining general employee satisfaction

The Importance of Implementing a Leave Management System

Implementing a leave management system remains of vital importance to employee retention and operational productivity for several reasons:

  • Record-Keeping: With a record of accumulated employee leave, it is easier to implement and enforce leave policies. Paid leave qualifies as an employee benefit, and employees have a right to know their leave balance and view it in real-time. The other advantage of record-keeping is that it helps during full and final settlement for employee retrenchment or resignation.
  • Reporting and Analytics: Identifying employee leave and attendance trends is nearly impossible without leave management software. A leave management system can fully display all data and trends surrounding employee leave and provide valuable analytics. Converting this data into actionable insights can support corrective or preventive measures if necessary.
  • Prevent Revenue Leaks: Without any track record, employers can often fall victim to paying for absences and incomplete work hours; these discrepancies can also cause conflict between employees and the employer, negatively impacting the business image.
  • Statutory Compliance: Employers must maintain a record of all paid leave granted to employees to remain statutory compliant with HR laws and policies.
