Ever log into work for the morning just wishing that your day could be derailed by a frantic email about some discrepancy in your leave of absence spreadsheet? Sure, you had hopes and dreams of developing that employee retention program that’s supposed to kick off next quarter, but instead, your day is destined to be spent figuring out what in the heck went sideways in your tracking doc, how it happened, and what it’s going to take to make it accurate once again.
Now for some of you out there, those of you who get some sort of pleasure out of the most frustrating and anxiety-amplifying parts of your job, a morning like this beats the strongest cup of coffee. For most of you, however, dealing with managing and tracking your leaves of absence in a spreadsheet ranks right above answering Gary’s 4th email this week about how he can’t figure out how to find his pay information in your HRIS on your “Things I wish I never had to do again in my life,” list.
As outlined below, the benefits of having an automated leave management solution go beyond the administrative nightmares of manually updating spreadsheets from multiple systems. The right solution can automate your team’s efforts to track all leave types across all states and can provide major operational upgrades for your team while delivering compliance confidence.
Automated Leave Tracking Increases Your Operational Efficiency
Whether you manage all your leaves in-house or get support through a carrier, there’s little you can do to avoid the painstaking process of ensuring your leaves are being tracked at all, and it takes a near Herculean effort to ensure that they’re being updated regularly and accurately.
Using a dedicated leave management solution that automates leave tracking for all leave types, updates changes to an employee’s leave details or demographic information in real-time, is carrier agnostic, and syncs with your HRIS removes all the obstacles leave management presents to you on the daily and supercharges your team’s efficiency.
Tilt’s leave management software automates leave tracking for all your leaves, which includes federal, state and local leave policies that your employees may be eligible for. Tilt manages and tracks it all in one platform so you can see every one of your employees on leave, start and return dates, FMLA hours, detailed payroll information, when certain government programs and protections begin and end, and more
Since Tilt pulls data directly from your HRIS, all of your employee data within Tilt remains current as their leaves are tracked, and you never have to lift a finger.
Reducing Human Error Through Leave Management Automation
Where operational efficiencies are a bandwidth booster, not having to rely on human perfection is a blood pressure release valve. Automated leave management tracking removes the risk of human error by simply removing your need to be involved with the process of inputting information into the system.
No more spreadsheets means no more data entry for you. No more data entry for you means no more risk of fudging a date, or accidentally copying and pasting old information over new information, or deleting important data into oblivion.
Since Tilt tracks all of your leaves automatically, you’re not just saving bandwidth, you’re also saving yourself from receiving those emails about spreadsheet discrepancies that can derail your day and expose your organization to data inaccuracies and the compliance risks therein.
Payroll Accuracy for All Leaves of Absence
Ahhhh payroll and leaves of absence. These two vital cogs of your HR operations are inextricably linked, and yet if you’re manually tracking your leaves today it probably feels more like they’re a productivity shackle.
Leave date shifts and pay source variability (i.e. from your STD carrier or state benefit programs) leave most HR and People Ops teams crossing their fingers, hoping they’ve accurately calculated your employees’ pay. Another element of the leave management process that is susceptible to human error, getting your employees’ pay correct is paramount to your success as a team.
Tilt’s solution automates your pay calculations and adjusts for any proration or shifts that may occur within a pay period. Our employee dashboard outlines each source of pay your employee will receive so they’re always in the loop.
Your payroll guru also gets access to Tilt, where they can export accurate pay information so with the click of a button it’s crystal clear exactly how much your organization needs to pay in order to make your employees whole.
Automate Your Leave Management To Ensure Compliance
Nothing sticks a thorn in the side of your legal and compliance department like not being compliant. Manually managing and tracking your leaves of absence exposes you to compliance risks on several fronts. From data security to staying current with the latest leave laws to meeting government-mandated deadlines, automated leave management keeps your employees protected under the law, and any sensitive information safely under your control.
Tilt’s in-house team of leave law wizards (they’re experts, actually) ensures your organization is always adhering to the latest regulations, and since our process is automated for every leave type, you can ensure your leaves are being administered consistently and without risk of discrimination.
