Leave Management FAQ

Leave management is the process of handling employee absences that may be protected under federal, state, or employer-provided leave laws. This includes determining eligibility, tracking time away, coordinating overlapping leave types, managing documentation, and ensuring consistent communication and compliance throughout the leave lifecycle.

Employee leave is one of the most complex and risk-heavy areas of HR. Laws frequently overlap, timelines are strict, and leave requests often start informally, before HR is aware. Without a structured process, employers face increased risk of compliance violations, inconsistent treatment, employee frustration, or legal claims.
