Leave management: Cutting labor costs

July 19, 2011 - Research L78

Without leave management, the average employee takes 1.25 unearned days off annually. Nucleus has found this cost can be eliminated by using leave automation tools to accurately track employees’ leave balances and avoid the granting of excess days off. Productivity is another benefit of leave automation tools, which save managers time by eliminating leave-related discussions, research, and record keeping. Returns can be particularly high for organizations with time and attendance deployments, since many of the required investments in data gathering have already been made.
