Leave Management Software That Handles Every Request, Policy and Balance

Every request, policy, and balance is handled automatically, so leave stays accurate for employees, managers, and HR teams.

Dynamic Leave Policies

Every leave rule, set up once and applied to the right team

Each organization has its own leave policies for different groups, locations, and departments, and it is difficult to track them manually. Savvy HRMS software enables HR to design different leave policies and administer them on one platform.

  • Policies by group, company, location, and department: Create different leave rules by group, department, location, and organization to ensure the policies apply to each team.
  • Multiple leave types: Set all the types of leave, including CL, PL, and SL, etc., required by your organization in a single employee leave management software.
  • Calendar, academic, and financial year cycles: Run leave policies on the calendar, academic, or financial year, whichever is most relevant to your business, and manage the holiday calendar for each location.
  • Customized leave availing criteria: Specify your own conditions for who can avail a leave and when.
  • Separate policies for ESI users: Give leave-related rules for ESI-covered employees that suit leave management software in India.
  • Pro-rata leave accruals: Give leave credits for days worked so that the balances are fair for new people and other part-time employees.
  • Monthly, quarterly, and yearly accruals: Credit leave as per the schedule for each policy, with balances available for attendance management software and payroll software records.
Dynamic leave policies

Multiple Leave Rules

Flexible leave rules, without manual checking

Leave rules such as sandwich days, carry forward, and clubbing are complex to monitor manually and usually result in conflicts. With savvy HRMS leave management software, your HR team can set up a rule once and let the system take care of the rest.

  • Sandwich rule: Holidays and weekly offs between two leave days will be counted as leave automatically without manual cross-checking.
  • ABS rules: Establish a set of rules for absences to be based on (e.g., leave), and the system will check it for all leave requests.
  • Carry forward rules: Determine the number of unused leave to carry forward to the next cycle, all handled by the HRMS Software.
  • Clubbing rules with any combination: Allow or disallow the user to combine leave types, as many combinations as per the company policy.
  • LOP and advance leaves: Employees are entitled to take advance leave, and loss of pay is deducted when the balance is exhausted, enabled in payroll software through payroll integration.
  • Comp-off rules and lapse conditions: Decide when comp-offs are earned and when they lapse, based on worked days from the attendance management software.
  • Present days rule for leave credits: Credit leave for each day the employee was present.
  • Document uploads against leaves: Employees can upload documents with their leave requests, such as a medical certificate.
Leave rules

Employee Leave Request

Plan, apply and withdraw leave in a few clicks

The process of requesting leave is so complicated that employees have to bother HR or at least fill out some forms just to apply for leave. With Savvy HRMS leave management software, let your employees apply for leave through the company portal or through the mobile app, so they can apply leave online easily.

  • Apply for leave from the ESS portal: Employees can apply for leave anytime and anywhere from the employee self-service portal directly without contacting the HR team.
  • Apply for leave from the mobile app: The Savvy HRMS mobile app enables your employees to apply for leave from anywhere with mobile leave requests, which is especially helpful for field and remote workers.
  • Long leave planning from the portal: Employees can plan long-term leave in advance so managers have more time to arrange things before the date.
  • Short leave provision: Instead of taking the complete leave in a day, employees can take short leave for a few hours, and the leave management software accurately keeps a record.
  • Roll back applied leaves: Employees are now able to revert leave that they have already applied for in their leave application, and the updated balance can be seen in the leave management software.

Customized Approval Flows

Approval paths that fit every leave type

Leave requests get stuck when they are waiting for an approver who is too busy. Savvy HRMS leave management software allows the HR team to create a leave approval process by leave type, so requests go straight to the right person first.

  • Multi-level approvals: Define the various levels of approval as per your company policies to ensure every request follows the correct chain of managers.
  • Approval with modification: Approvers can make changes to dates and duration before approving to prevent the need to ask for revisions.
  • Custom approvals for special leaves: Maternity, paternity, and other special leaves can go through their particular approval process in the employee leave management software.
  • Approvals through email: Managers are able to approve or reject requests directly from the email, without logging into the system.
  • Time-based auto-approve or auto-reject: If nobody responds within a specified time, the request gets auto-approve / auto-rejected, so leave never stays pending for a long period of time.
Leave approval flows

Leave Management - Mobile App

Leave management, just a tap away

It is unnecessary for an employee and a manager to be seated at their desk to handle leave applications. Savvy HRMS makes all leave application processes, approval steps, and balances available through the mobile app and enables leave applications to flow smoothly, regardless of the location of the employees.

  • All types of leave requests: Employees can apply for any type of leave using the leave management software of their organization from their mobile devices.

Mobile leave management

Year End Carry Forward

Close the leave year without manual calculations

Year-end leave calculations may take HR days when spreadsheets are used, and any mistake or error in entry can affect many employees. Savvy HRMS leave management software automatically carries forward leave balances according to company policy guidelines, which makes a new leave year start accurately.

  • Auto carry forward of leave balances: Unused leave days are carried forward to the new leave year automatically based on the policies regarding leave balances.

Year-end carry forward

Leave Encashment

Turn unused leave into pay, the right way

  • Automated leave encashment: Encashment is calculated on an automated basis as defined by the leave balance and policy without any manual calculation work.
  • Encashment at year-end: Unused leave can be encashed at the end of the year, based on the particular rules set for each type of leave.
  • Encashment at F&F: Encashment of unused leave takes place in the full and final settlement when an employee leaves, thus ensuring accurate payout.
  • Encashment on request: Employees can request an encashment of unused leave, while the approved sum is directly transferred into the payroll software.
  • Customized encashment policy: The employee leave management software can determine who is eligible, which leave types qualify, and how much one is eligible to receive.
  • Maximum limit for encashment: The limit for encashment has been set in order to comply with company regulations on leave payouts.

  • Auto email triggers on requests and approvals: When an employee applies and a manager approves or rejects the request, emails are sent automatically, keeping the team in the loop.

What is Leave Management Software?

Leave management software is a complete, digital module that simplifies the leave application, leave approval, and leave tracking process for a company. It tracks leave types such as CL, PL, SL, policies, balances, accruals, and approvals, and integrates with attendance management software and payroll software. This saves HR's valuable time and reduces manual data entry errors by providing real-time leave information.

  1. Employee applies for leave
  2. Policy and balance are checked
  3. Request routes to approvers
  4. Data flows to attendance and payroll

Every Type of Leave Handled in One Leave Management Software

Every leave type, every rule, every balance. Savvy HRMS leave management software handles them all in one place.

Casual Leave

Casual leave is for short, unscheduled absences. Leave management software enables HR to define yearly limits and accrual periods, so employees can submit leave requests online and view leave balances without having to check with HR.

Sick Leave

Sick leave manages absences for medical reasons, including the ability to attach files such as medical certificates. Approvers can track the request, and employee leave management software deducts time from the balance once approved.

Privilege Leave

Privilege leave accumulates over time. HR can allocate an accrual monthly, quarterly or annually, as well as pro-rata and carry forward limits so leave balances remain accurate throughout the leave year.

Maternity and Paternity Leave

Specific leaves such as maternity and paternity can have their own eligibility and approval processes. Multi-level approval and document uploads can help you effectively manage long leaves in compliance with regulations.

Comp-Off Leave

Comp-offs are earned on extra working days and credited as per rules set by HR. Comp-off processing requires no manual intervention as it applies automatically and is reflected on attendance management software, so records stay consistent.

LOP and Advance Leave

When the balance is over, one can avail advance leave or loss of pay. LOP is automatically calculated and flows to payroll software through payroll integration for correct salary.

Short Leave

Short leave lets employees ask for short leave for a few hours. They can file a leave request from the portal or mobile app, and their manager gets a mobile leave request alert.

Custom Leave Types

Leave management software allows HR to configure any other leave type to fit your policy, with its own eligibility, accrual, approval and encashment rules, and apply it to selected groups, locations or departments.
