Co to jest Leave Management? | HR Słownik | BambooHR
The process of requesting, approving, tracking and reporting employee time off.
Leave management covers how an organisation handles every form of absence — annual leave, sick leave, parental and family leave, and unpaid time off. Done well, it gives managers visibility of who is available, ensures entitlements are honoured, and keeps accruals accurate for payroll and year-end reporting.
Manual tracking through spreadsheets quickly becomes error-prone as headcount grows and as different leave types carry different rules. HR software centralises requests, applies the correct policy automatically, and maintains an audit trail.
In an Irish and EU context, leave management must reflect statutory entitlements under the Organisation of Working Time Act and related legislation, including minimum annual leave, public holidays and the various family-leave schemes. Accurate records also support gender pay gap and other compliance reporting.
