Top 5 Leave Management Tips for HR Managers

Leave Management Tips for HR Managers

Leave management is one of the key responsibilities of HR managers. Though it is an everyday task, it is certainly not an easy feat to achieve.

FAQs

A robust employee leave management system should provide at least the following features:

 

  • Easy-to-use interface

  • Quick leave requests and approvals

  • Transparent leave process

  • Automatic leave balance update

  • Custom leaves reporting

 

The leave management system should also be customizable per the leave types and other company workflows. It is also crucial that the software is intuitive enough to be used by all employees with minimal to no training required. It is also desirable to have a pictorial representation of the leaves taken as it ensures that the employees can view their leaves and understand the basic statistics.

 

Having a leave management system improves HR efficiency and automation in one of the most basic tasks of the HR department: Leave Management. You can notice visible improvements in HR productivity, increased transparency, fewer miscalculations, precise database, quicker leave approval process and many more benefits once you have implemented a robust leave management system. You can also save time and money in leave management with dedicated software.

 

Additionally, having an automated leave system to manage employee leaves also frees the HR department to concentrate on designing other creative strategies for company development, employee engagement or employer branding. Additionally, due to automation, the process’s efficiency increases several times.

An increased number of companies are opting to have an online leave management system due to its various advantages over legacy systems. Some of the common benefits of having a cloud-based leave management system are:

 

  • 24/7 remote access

  • No hardware costs

  • Quick and easy deployment

  • Zero maintenance costs

  • Paperless leave management

  • Database Security

 

Being a cloud-based system, you can assign specific roles for each user and ensure that the employee only has access to particular functions in an online leave management system. It provides an additional level of abstraction.

There is no golden number which can be set as the average cost of the leave management software. Usually, a leave management system is fully modifiable and hence, the charges for such systems depend on the type and number of customizations done.

 

Some software vendors also charge their clients as per the number of users who would be using the system, as an increase in the number of users means that there is an increase in the amount of server space allocated for that company.

The leave tracking software tracks and records employee leave details automatically. At the beginning of the calendar year, the HR manager or administrator defines the kinds of leaves available to the employees and allocates the total number of leaves assigned to each employee category.

 

Once an employee’s leave is approved, the leave management system calculates the remaining leaves according to the initial number provided. It also updates this number to ensure that the employee will view the updated balance the next time they apply for a leave. Thus, it automates leave management, making it effortless for the employee and efficient for HR.

Leave management is an essential part of employee management. If your HR manages employee leaves manually, reviewing different leave policy types, various time offs required, and managing records takes much manual processing.

 

The leave approval workflows also take time, making employees wait for acceptance or rejection of their request. Having leave management software automates and speeds up this process making it more efficient and cost-effective.

 

In the case of a start-up, HR needs to be free to undertake other business development tasks along with the senior management. Hence, any automation would help them reduce their burden and improve their effectiveness.

 

Employees can use their ESS portal to check their leave balance and request leaves without physically meeting their supervisor. They can also check the status of their application in the portal itself, further increasing the transparency of the leave approval process. It saves time and increases the overall efficiency of the leave management process.

 

Additionally, they can review the leaves taken and take necessary measures to ensure that their leaves remain throughout the period of the leave calendar. The leave management system also ensures that the employees can view supervisor remarks if leave is rejected. They can also attach documents such as medical certificates in case of leaves for medical reasons.

 

Here are five best leave management tips for HR managers:

 

1. Get a leave management software to identify trends

In case of frequent unplanned leaves of employees, it becomes imperative for managers to track the absence trends. Here, having an automated leave management system would be of great assistance. An online leave tracking system will help HR managers to identify trends at the click of a button.

 

In addition, our online leave management system can be seamlessly integrated with biometric time attendance system or device enabling the HR managers to keep a track of employee leaves on the go.

 

2. Be considerate when dealing with extended leaves

In several cases, state or national laws as well as your company policies could mandate the right to extended leaves. Thus, training the line managers in how do they respond to such requests and exhibit compassion becomes necessary.

 

Always remember that the approval for a leave in case of any legitimate reasons such as medical or family urgency rests largely on the manager. A negative response from the manager can irk the employees thus, resulting in disconnect between employees and management.

 

3. Always set realistic return-to-work leave schedules

One of the biggest concerns. Here, the more you know what to expect, the better it would be for the team. This is why it is important for HR managers to set realistic return-to-work leave schedules for their employees.

 

For instance, if an employee applies for a week long leave request for some medical purpose (surgery or therapy), then setting up a stringent return-to-work schedule is simply a turn-off.

 

4. Plan well-in-advance for employee vacation

The more your HR managers know up-front about who is going out, when and for how many days, the better it is. This is why HR managers ought to be proactive and thoughtful when dealing with vacation requests from employees. It would help them to prepare as well as ensure that productivity doesn’t go for a toss during peak vacation times.

 

5. Always be prompt when responding to leave requests

Last but not the least, HR managers should always respond to day-off requests in a prompt manner. Our mobile payroll app allows managers to receive and approve leave requests on the go. Thus, employees don’t have to wait for ages to get approval for their leaves.

 

Yes, these gestures boost employee engagement and satisfaction levels greatly and arming your HR managers with the right tool to do this is a real win-win situation for everyone.
