Online Leave Management Software. One Solution to Boost Effectiveness & Productivity

Regardless of where your business is incorporated, managing your employees' vacations and sick leave is mandatory and time-consuming. You and your employees win by using an online leave management system that will facilitate the administrative tasks.

In the following paragraphs, you will discover ten advantages on how online Leave Management Systems facilitate daily leave management, how they will make you better prepared for the future, and help you navigate the challenges in handling absence needs. Let's begin.

  1. Effective regardless you are located.
    Our system is used by organizations across the entire world, from Canada to Australia, from Vietnam to the UK, or from Brazil to the Philippines and Indonesia. LeaveBoard works with multinationals also, helping to manage employees that are local, but also abroad, that have different policies, allowances, and teams.

2. Accessible on any device
The reason why you're searching for an online tool is that you would like to use it on the web from any device: Mobile, Tablet, PC, or Mac. At LeaveBoard, we're working hard to keep the same employee experience, regardless of what device you're connecting from. We keep things easy, remove distractions and ensure that decision-making is effortless.

No need to download any updates. Just open your browser. And if needed, you can use it as a web-app on your smartphone screen.

3. The solution gets constant updates. The updates are guided by some of the best HR managers that use LeaveBoard. Details make the difference, and these details have been constantly improved over the last 4.5 years, and we will not stop here.

4. The online leave management system works in the cloud

The Software as a Service is more secure than by using a spreadsheet locally, and the vendor takes care of ensuring that servers work correctly, back-ups are being made and dealing with the latest security fixes. You don't need an IT professional to start using the tool.

💡If you're wondering what are the differences between a spreadsheet and an online HR system, then check our guide on the topic.

5. Different permission levels
We're often being asked if we can assign employees to different access levels or change the permissions to different parts of the system. I believe you have the same questions. An administrator should be able to modify allowances or invite an employee; however, one team member should not be able to deal with these activities; however, when booking leaves online, they can access it anytime. As you can see in the graphic on the left side, you can see four types of users: employees, managers, supervisors, and administrators.

6. Delegate the online leave booking directly to your employees
With a novel employee leave management system, you and your team members will be able to access an employee portal from which they will be able to book leaves, check the balance of time off, see who is off, and who is a good day to take some days off, and much more.

7. Streamline communication
With every leave request booked, the managers get an email notification with the specific request. And when they approve it, the employees get instantly notified of the manager's decision. And if you integrate the vacation tracker with Slack, you will receive the notifications directly within your favorite communication tool.

8. Gain transparency
How often have you had to check with managers and verify various calendars to ensure that no clashes occur or that continuity within the department is ensured? Well, using LeaveBoard, such needs are no longer the case since all the employees will have access to absence calendars that are always updated with the latest employee entries.

And such benefit is valuable for everyone: for the manager next to you in the office, for the engineer who works remotely to focus on a project, or for the assistant that looks to plan his winter holidays.

9. Leverage the power of automation
To gain more free time and focus on strategic activities rather than repetitive tasks. LeaveBoard is investing in ensuring that leave management is easy. We want to eliminate the need to manually handle leave entries, reports, calendar updates, allowances, notifications, and much more.

What is more exactly the automation that LeaveBoard helps? Well, we put together a specific article linked below; however, we list the most important here:

  • Annual allowances for your staff
  • Tracking multiple types of time off (PTO/Sick/Birthday/Casual/Maternity/Etc)
  • Annual leave calculation and Enforcing allowance if needed within the book time off form
  • Allowance calculation for New hires and Employees departing
  • Updating team calendars for annual planning
  • Handling yearly carry forward (including with expiry dates)
  • Mangling leaves for employees within different geographies and different public holidays
  • Updating calendars and calendar feed.
