Leave management ranks among HR’s most challenging tasks since it requires balancing employees’ needs with a complex web of legal regulations.
As organizations continue to add new types of leave and the leave management process grows more daunting, more HR departments are choosing to outsource parts of the process to third-party administrators. Providers of software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms can remove much of the compliance and leave tracking burden. Application programming interfaces (APIs) make it easier and more reliable to integrate third-party leave software with existing human resource information systems (HRIS) and payroll systems.
