Leave Management

Overview

Leave Management is a vital Human Resource Management module designed to empower managers in effectively overseeing employee leave entitlements and applications. Its functionalities are governed by Pay Team Role Access and configurable Approval Workflow settings, ensuring controlled and streamlined operations.
Key features and functionalities include:
  1. Leave Allocation: Manages current and historical leave records, offering both mass and individual allocation. It tracks 'Brought Forward', 'Accrued', and 'Taken' figures, with system-controlled dates. The system displays unprocessed leave hours and excludes voided leaves. Grade Leave Maintenance supports allocation by pay grade and years of service.
  2. Leave Balance: Shows an employee's current year leave balance in days and hours, allowing detailed transaction viewing. Reports provide further insights, though minor rounding discrepancies can occur between various displays.
  3. Leave Applications: Facilitates creation, editing, and status tracking of leave requests. It enforces rules like positive hours, balance validation, and non-overlapping applications. Email alerts notify employees and approvers, and projected leave balances are calculated. Medical certificate attachments are supported, with configurable "Requires Attachment" settings.
  4. Leave Calendar: Offers a visual, colour-coded calendar view of all leave applications, filterable by day, week, or month. Employees can view their own leave and that of their direct reports, and create/edit entries.
  5. Leave Approvals: Centralises pending leave applications, allowing designated approvers to approve or reject single or multiple entries with comments. Configurable approval workflows and email alerts ensure efficient processing.
  6. Leave Adjustments: Enables modifications to allocation, brought forward, accrued, and taken balances, requiring approval. Adjustments can use positive or negative hours and are permitted even for closed periods, with validation rules to maintain integrity.
  7. Leave Transactions: Lists all employee leave applications, allowing users to mark leave as "Taken" for payroll or "Sold" for cash payouts. It includes bulk upload functionality and shows "Payrun ID" and "Pay Date" for processed leave.
  8. Leave Analysis: Provides pivot charts and graphs for in-depth data analysis.
  9. Process Leave & End of Month: "Process Leave" marks approved leave as "Taken" for payroll, configurable for future periods. "Process End of Month" enables manual monthly leave accrual based on selected month and pay team.
  10. Leave Codes: Defines various leave types with auto-generated paycodes, including attributes like Category, Workflow, Accrual Type (standard or proportional), and Rollover methods. These are critical for how leave is calculated and managed, with validations to maintain data integrity.
