Introduction

Leave management is one of the vital HR tasks which needs the HR team to contribute a significant portion of their time to run it effectively.HR personnel must strike a proper balance between adherence to leave policies and retaining employee satisfaction. Every employee in the organization is entitled to leave or PTO(paid time off) as it is one of the significant benefits.

Problems with manual leave management

Gone are the days when leave management was handled manually by the HR team. A manual leave management system is very tedious, consumes much time, and is prone to several errors. With a traditional method of leave applications, there are chances for delays in acknowledging leave applications and approving those applications. Sometimes managers reject the leaves without specifying the reasons for the same. The employee performance/productively is adversely affected if the leave management system is poor and does not satisfy the employees.

• Under a manual leave management system, employees are unaware of the organization’s leave policies and balances. It takes much time to retrieve this information manually from the HR team. Not getting timely leave approvals will lead to frustration and dissatisfaction among the employees.
• Even the managers find it challenging to keep track of leaves applied and approve the pending leaves as they do not have keen insights into the availability of other employees for the specific period.
• Frequent payroll errors occur if the leaves are not calculated accurately for employees., thus increasing employee dissatisfaction and adversely affecting their productivity.

Need of automated absence management system

It is high time the HR managers must switch to automated leave systems with employee self-service where employees can apply their leaves, track their past leave records and check their leave availability balance at any time.

A good and reliable leave management system is vital for the growth and success of any organization. The employee performance/productively is adversely affected if the leave management system is poor and does not satisfy the employees.

An automated leave management system helps the organization enforce reasonably accurate leave policies contributing to employee satisfaction and enhancing productivity.
