<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen there is no leave management system in place, the HR department performs this task manually. It leads to a waste of considerable time and effort on the HR\u2019s part, which can be avoided with the use of proper technology. A leave management software can automate the process, wherein an employee can apply for leaves through an online portal. The online portal further sends a notification to the concerned reporting manager for approval. This removes the need for HR to get involved and manually track the days of absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labour laws dictate that an employee is entitled to a certain set amount of leaves every year, and any additional leave comes under the purview of loss of pay (LOP). Manual leave calculations open the possibility of human-made calculation errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, imagine the cost-to-company of wrongful leave calculations. What if an employee takes 3 LOPs and the HR records only two? Think of the long-term financial implications that this would have on the company. To avoid such circumstances from occurring, a leave management system in your organisation is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor leave management has a significant impact on the business side of things. Manually tracking of leaves often results in the lack of communication, as only the managers and HR team is aware of who\u2019s on leave. This leads to utter confusion for the rest of the team, who might not be aware of who\u2019s on leave and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lack of communication can negatively impact your team (which we\u2019ll discuss below) as it leads to a resource crunch. There\u2019s an impact on productivity as well, since the team isn\u2019t fully-staffed, leading to poor distribution of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an employee is on an unplanned extended leave, it leads to more work for the team members. In certain cases, employees are asked to take on overtime work, perform double-shifts and give up their off-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you ask employees to continually work overtime or take up additional shifts, it\u2019ll eventually lead to employee burn out. Such employees show signs of disengagement at work. Their productivity goes down, and they tend to quit the company. When they leave, it causes strain on the remaining team members, creating a cyclic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor leave management is at the root of this problem. If an organisation can formulate plans for such situations when employees are on leave, it allows them to balance things out and ensure that stress level among the rest doesn\u2019t spike suddenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
