Many companies still rely on paper or email-based systems to manage their leave processes, where they receive leave requests and record them manually in Excel for payroll processing.

However, using Excel for leave management can be cumbersome and time-consuming due to the manual operations involved in creating spreadsheets, inputting data, writing formulas, generating reports, and exporting files. Additionally, accurately managing employee leaves is crucial for payroll calculations, including commissions, unpaid leave, and paid sick leave, each with different calculation methods.

In contrast, Workstem’s cloud-based HR and payroll system offers specialised leave management features tailored for businesses. Here’s why Workstem’s Leave Management Software is more effective than Excel:

Customizable leave Rules

Workstem allows businesses to configure different leave rules and types based on their specific requirements. This includes factors such as leave entitlements, probationary period restrictions, and more. The system automatically calculates leave entitlements for each employee based on the configured rules, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Customizable leave Rules

Automated Leave Application and Approval

Workstem streamlines the leave application and approval process. Employees can submit leave requests directly through the Workstem one app, which can be reviewed and approved by employers or HR. This eliminates the need for manual paper forms or email exchanges and ensures a more efficient and organised workflow.

Empowering Employee Self-Service

Automated leave balance in real time sync

Workstem offers automated leave balance management, ensuring employees have real-time access to their available leave days through the mobile app. This eliminates the need for manual calculations or HR inquiries, empowering employees to plan their time off effectively.

Additionally, Workstem automatically updates public holidays each year and calculates employee leave usage, balances, entitlements, and accruals, including annual leave, personal leave, and long service leave. These automated calculations are based on factors such as an employee’s length of service and hours worked. The system provides accurate information that can be used for budgeting, planning, and compliance purposes, streamlining the leave management process.

Auto update for each year’s public holidays, and auto calculate details on employee leave usage, balances, entitlements, as well as leave accrual including annual leave, personal leave and long service leave based on the employee's length of service and hours worked, which can be used for budgeting, planning, and compliance purposes.
