Leave Management

Leave management administers employee requests and entitlements for time away from work. It includes balances, approvals, records, coverage arrangements and applicable policy or legal requirements.

Example

An employee requests planned leave, the manager checks coverage and the approved days are reflected in the leave balance and relevant payroll inputs.

What to keep in mind

Different leave types may have different rights and procedures. Do not apply a single approval rule to every absence without checking statutory entitlements, protected circumstances and local requirements.
