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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Leave
Analysis: Provides pivot charts and
graphs for in-depth data
analysis.
-
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.
-
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.
