HRM leave management is the process used to handle any kind of time off request and to track time that employees are away from work. If paid time off is offered as a benefit, leave management systems may calculate compensation provided to absent employees and file this information in company records.

The process of handling leaves and absences due to sickness, vacation, or other reasons is called leave management. A good leave management system increases employee satisfaction, provides transparency, and reduces unscheduled tasks. Also, it reduces if not eliminates unexplained or excessive absenteeism.
