Major Challenges in Leave Management

Communication Gap

Managers often face the challenge of handling numerous leave applications and emails. This also creates confusion as they have to manage leaves from different platforms, and companies and accordingly approve or reject them. This creates a communication gap between the admin and employees, affecting overall coordination.

Data Extraction & Reporting

It often happens that the company and the admin need specific information about an employee's leave history or the total leave records for a particular day or month. In such conditions, it becomes a tedious job to filter records and information from a manual database and hard-copy files.

Data Safety

Manually maintained records can be prone to risks of damage and manipulation. Even the data stored over systems can invite data theft or malware. Ensuring security through conventional means can be one of the most difficult challenges when it comes to Leave Management.

Leave Types & Policies

Maintaining 50+ leave types, each having a different policy in terms of eligible days/hours, required documents, approval hierarchy, days eligibility based on employee type (full-time/hourly), eligibility based on service years, eligibility based on probation status, eligibility based on company etc are the most difficult challenges.

Social Welfare Deductions

Managing different social welfare deduction rates based on employees’ absence days or illness types, notifying employees in time about the upcoming deductions and reflecting them in the payslip are also some of the tedious tasks for payroll managers.

Occupational Health Eligibility

Identifying employees who are eligible for occupational health based on their illness type or absence days is often difficult to track without having a sophisticated leave management system.

Employee Status

Sometimes, it becomes difficult for the managers to monitor who has returned to work from a long-term sick leave. If not managed properly, managers could easily miss out on the actual return date which may further lead to confusion and over-deductions.

Annual Leave Entitlement

In large organisations, one of the big challenges is to manage AL entitlement based on company policies, contracts, or employee service years. Most of the time, managers spend hours adjusting carry-forward leaves and managing accruals and limits. It also becomes a major issue when an employee leaves the company, with no proper record, it becomes difficult to manage the final payouts for unused paid leaves provided by an organisation in a year.
