How do you manage Annual Leave?
January 14, 2013 at 7:25 AM
In Australia, January is usually regarded as peak holiday season with many taking full advantage of the summer sun and school holidays - however many employers and employees can be unsure of their annual leave rights and obligations.
Annual leave entitlements form part of the National Employment Standards (NES) with all employees (except casual employees) paid annual leave based on their ordinary hours of work.
Fair Work Australia advise that an employee’s entitlement to annual leave under the NES accrues progressively during a year of service according to their ordinary hours of work and accumulates from year to year.
On termination of employment an employer must pay an employee for any untaken annual leave which has accrued. Leave continues to accumulate while employees are taking paid annual leave and paid personal leave.
For more details on the NES and Annual Leave Rights and Obligations visit Fair Work online.
A time and attendance software system can easily manage and track absence and leave.
Web-based self-service functionality also enables employees to check their own attendance information such as flexi-time balances and entitlements, absence history and planned leave etc…without having to converse with the HR department.
An automated time and attendance management system can help you effectively manage leave and the holiday planning processes by:
- Keeping a central repository of all employee leave records, keeping track of all leave types such as Holiday or Personal leave
- Calculating leave eligibility based on an employee’s hours worked and hire date
- Creating work schedules that take in account employees on leave, thus ensuring you have sufficient cover to meet customer or project demands and deadlines
- Generating real time absence management and holiday planning reports
In addition, Employee Self Service functionality (ESS) empowers your staff to check their own leave records and entitlements, and request/book leave online without having to converse with their supervisor or HR.
