Global Leave Administration Overview
Most organizations need to track the amount of time that employees are on leave. Although various payroll software products can track basic accrual balances and timecard history, many organizations need additional planning and tracking tools that track more detail and enable managers to evaluate and act upon trends.
Global leave administration offers robust time reporting and payroll features that establish leave eligibility, accruals, and balance tracking. Global leave administration enables you to immediately validate leave availability during the time entry process. The system also provides an automated workflow feature that enhances the management approval process.
Use global leave administration to track medical and maternity leave, known as Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), for U. S. employers. The system tracks advanced information that is necessary for medical leave approval. After medical leave begins, the system continues to track the progress of each approved leave and gather additional information that is necessary to meet company and governmental requirements.
Global leave administration includes Employee Self-Service and Manager Self-Service features. You can use Employee Self-Service to:
View leave balances.
Request leave time.
Cancel or modify existing requests.
Submit FMLA requests and information for U.S. employees.
You can use the Manager Self-Service features to:
View leave requests and available balances.
Approve and reject leave requests.
View scheduled leave in the Work Order Employee Scheduling module.
Review leave trends.
