Leave Management System Software

A leave management system helps record, manage, and track staff's leave records. Staff's leave requests should be handled fairly while the work should not suffer during their absence. Leave requests can be tracked, approved, or denied easily with an automated leave management system.

Leave is a provision to stay away from work for genuine reasons with prior approval of the authorities. It may or be granted for a casual purpose, planned activity, on medical grounds, or in extraordinary conditions. Leave cannot be claimed as a matter of right. Accordingly, leave rules and norms have been categorized under various heads. Vacation and leave are governed by a set of rules and norms as laid down by the Government of India. Managing leaves of the faculty & staff for the entire year is a tedious process. Efficient leave management software is thus required to simplify the process.

Leave Management System (LMS) is designed to help the organization to set up employee leave policy & manage their leaves seamlessly. This software enables configuring all types of leaves, including paid leaves, leaves without pay, sick leaves, casual leaves, medical leaves, and much more. In addition to this, the software also helps an employee to check the status of leave, daily attendance record, and can also apply for leave.
