Leave of Absence

Terms and concepts in Leave

Leave documents

Certain types of leave have associated documents that must be generated and distributed to employees.

For example: A medical certification form and a form indicating the employee can return to work.

Leave categories

Different types of leaves of absence are broken out into Leave Categories. Typically these are: Self, Family, Personal, or Military. This helps to identify the major groupings of leave cases.

Leave types

Leave Types are used to track the amount of government-regulated leave (like FMLA) and paid time off used during a leave case. Leave Types can be tracked concurrently like FMLA and State Regulated Leave while Paid Time Off can cascade from Sick Time to Vacation time when the sick time runs out.

Leave Profiles

Leave Profiles are assigned to all employees covered by the Leave of Absence program. This allows employees to open their own leave cases when needed. The assigned Leave Profile ensures that they only see applicable options when opening their leave case.

Users can group different categories into Leave profiles.

For example: Employees working in different states might have different Leave profiles because of differences in state family or medical leave rules. A Leave profile is assigned to employees who have been granted leave.

Leave Requests

The leave request process begins when employees request leave of absence. The request is then sent to the Leave Administrator.

Leave Cases

Leave cases enable companies to track administer their leave of absence policies. When an employee is on a leave of absence, the leave case stores information, such as start end dates, generated documents, eligibility information, and and amounts of leave taken.

Searching and reporting

Search for employees with leave cases who may need to have an action taken. Run reports with leave information such as leave time taken.
