Effective leave and absence management is key to not only being compliant, but also to having an engaged workforce. Enhancements in this area of Talent allow for organizations to continue streamlining the administration of leave and absence plans, allow managers to take care of time-off schedules, and help employees to balance work and home life.

Each organization and region has unique business requirements related to leave and absence management. These might include policies on how employees can take time off or accrue time off. Allowing organizations to configure leave and absence to fit their unique business needs helps them stay compliant and streamlines the leave and absence management process.

Employees sometimes struggle to know how much time off they have and if they will lose any time-off awards. By enabling employees to see their forecasted time off, they can plan how to balance their work and home life.

Configure how employees are awarded time off

When awarding employees leave, the organization may have different policies related to what determines an award and when that award should occur. Talent enables HR professionals to choose how this time is awarded by providing options on the leave plan for which dates to use when awarding time off and whether awards are hours-based or tenure-based.

Configure how employee time off is prorated

Organizations award time off differently based on when employees join or leave the company. For employees leaving the organization, some might need to end the award on the termination date, while others rely on the last day worked to stop the accrual process. They also might award employees their full allocation at their start date, while others prorate the award. Talent provides HR professionals the flexibility to choose, when creating leave plans, what type of proration should occur when employees join and leave the organization. HR professionals also have the flexibility to pick the enrollment end date for an employee and choose when the awards for an employee leaving the organization should end.
