A company by default will provision a set of leave types along with entitlements for each employee. Although the company may provide these privileges, they sometimes fail to properly monitor how these leave privileges are being utilized by employees. A company will typically face such situations when they do not have a proper mechanism/system in place to manage and track leave requests. As a result, a company may not be in the best position to identify how to optimize the productivity of their employees in achieving maximum productivity and efficiency gains.
With the help of OrangeHRM, a company can now track the leave usage relating to the leave type and the leave usage for an employee. This can be done by generating a report for either of the above conditions.
Go to Leave ->Reports -> Leave Usage. This triggers the following screen:
