Employee Leave & Time-Off Management

A leave request involves more than submission. Balances need to be checked, approvals processed, and attendance administration updated. Sigma HRIS brings these tasks together through Core Module, ESS, and mobile.

Leave Management Involves More than One Role

Employee requests need to connect to approval decisions and HR records.

Leave and time-off management involves several related tasks. Employees request an absence, authorized reviewers assess it, and HR ensures the information is used in attendance administration. For leave types with balances, companies also need to manage those balances under their policies.

When requests are spread across conversations, forms, and separate files, HR has to collect the information again before preparing summaries. An approved request may not immediately reach the person checking attendance. As a result, an absence can require repeated clarification even when the employee has followed the submission process.

Leave management software connects requests, approvals, and HR records. Employees have a clear way to submit requests, and the company processes them in a system linked to attendance. The resulting information can then be used in daily HR administration.

Sigma HRIS connects employee services in ESS and mobile with HR management in Core Module. Companies can manage leave types and balances, process time-off requests, and use the information to review attendance and prepare payroll-related data.

Clear Leave Services for Everyone Involved

A defined process helps employees, approvers, and HR use information appropriate to their roles.

Convenient Leave Requests

Employees need a convenient way to request leave or time off. System-based self-service provides a more organized channel than communicating through multiple separate platforms.

With ESS and mobile, requests become part of the company's HR transactions. Employees use dedicated services without entering HR's data-entry and administration area, keeping access relevant to their everyday needs.

Organized Reviews and Approvals

Leave and time-off requests must be handled by authorized reviewers under company policy. Submitting through the system places information in a workflow for assessing employee needs and making decisions.

Approval results become part of HR records. Teams can use them to check the reason for an employee's absence, rather than relying on separate approval messages.

Leave Balance Management

For balance-based leave, companies need to organize leave types, balances, and related transactions. System-managed data helps HR review this information under company rules, without relying entirely on summaries kept separately from employee requests.

Organized balances also help when employees ask about leave usage. HR can review the managed information and related transactions before providing an explanation.

Clearer Attendance Data for Payroll

The reason for an absence needs to be checked. Processed leave or time off adds context when HR reviews attendance. This helps distinguish records requiring clarification from requests that have already been handled.

If a transaction relates to a pay component, the information can be used under company settings. Teams still review the data and applicable rules before continuing payroll processing.

Sigma HRIS Features for Leave and Time Off

Leave management in Core Module is complemented by request and approval services through ESS and mobile.

Leave Type Settings

Sigma HRIS provides leave-type management so companies can organize administration around their policies. Defining leave types is part of preparing the system to process employee leave.

Companies can discuss the leave categories they use and their management requirements before configuration. Clear definitions give HR a reference for administration and incoming requests.

Leave Balance Management

Core Module includes leave balance management. HR can use balance information when reviewing leave requests under company policy.

Opening balances and related data need to be prepared correctly when the system is introduced. Organized management helps maintain consistent information as leave transactions are processed in daily operations.

Leave and Time-Off Requests through ESS

Employee Self Service provides a dedicated employee portal for HR requests, including leave and time off. It connects to Core Module and is separate from HR's administration area.

Employees use self-service suited to their needs, while HR continues to manage company information and administration. Separate work areas make the system simpler for employees to use.

Mobile Access to Requests

Sigma HRIS Mobile supports leave and time-off requests on Android phones. Mobile access allows employees to use HR services without always being at a computer.

Mobile is part of the Sigma HRIS environment alongside Core Module and ESS. Companies can prepare access and usage scope around employee-service requirements and their system environment.

HR Request Approvals

Sigma HRIS provides HR approval access, including mobile. Authorized reviewers process employee requests according to company workflows and permissions.

Connecting submissions and approvals keeps the process clear. HR can use processed transaction information for administration, attendance reviews, and any necessary follow-up.

Connected to Rosters and Attendance

The Sigma HRIS roster helps HR manage schedules, attendance, time off, leave, and overtime within the attendance workspace. Leave information can be reviewed alongside schedules to understand an employee's situation during a specific period.

For example, absence records need to be checked against processed requests. Connected information helps teams focus on the relevant transactions before preparing HR summaries and payroll data.

How Sigma HRIS Connects Leave Management to HRIS

Employee requests form part of HR information management, connected to attendance and payroll rather than handled separately.

Leave management often starts with requests and balances. Companies also need to use these transactions when reviewing schedules, attendance, and payroll-related information. Without connected data, teams can spend more time matching approval outcomes to attendance summaries.

Sigma HRIS manages HR, attendance, and payroll in Core Module. Leave types and balances can be prepared as part of company administration, while time-off and leave information helps teams interpret employee attendance.

ESS and mobile complement this process through self-service access. Employees submit requests in the appropriate area, authorized reviewers process approvals, and HR manages administration. Roles differ, but the information remains within a connected environment.

Sigma HRIS is modular. Companies can select Core Module, ESS, and mobile according to operational requirements. Initial discussions can focus on leave types, balance data, approval workflows, and the relationship with attendance to align the system with company needs.
