Employee Leave Management System

An employee leave management system handles annual leave and personal leave without difficulty. The gaps sit in the categories added more recently or used less often.

Paid family and domestic violence leave is the clearest example. The National Employment Standards provide 10 days in a 12 month period, available to full time, part time and casual employees. There are also specific rules about how it appears on a pay slip, because the record should not put someone at risk.

Compassionate leave, community service leave, jury duty and unpaid parental leave are others that get handled by email because nobody configured them.

Leave that lives outside the system is leave nobody can report on, and in the family and domestic violence case the informal handling carries a privacy risk as well.

The Fair Work Ombudsman sets out these entitlements. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
