1. Does Schools Really Need A Leave
Management System?
How Traditional Leave Management System Works?
Leave application management in schools is considered to be a tedious process for school
management, which involves the coordination between various departments. For example if
any teacher applying for leave, the usual process will be
 Apply leave for headmaster/principal.
 Make necessary alternatives in the time-table schedule
 Leave gets approved.
This leave process has to be repeated on a regular basis for school managements. On the other
hand the management also should verify the leave history of teachers/staff, and the info needs
to be passed to the respective departments.
This process literally consumes hours of productive work for admin work, as this additional
communication adds burden to their regular work. Any failure of communication in this
traditional leave management system also causes confusion and chaos among the students and
teachers.
How Automating a Leave Management System Could Help?
Leave Management System powered by the School ERP System could help in making the entire
leave process simpler and better. Transparency is ensured in the process of granting or denying
leaves, by following the institution’s leave policy.
Here are some of the Benefits of automating your leave management system:
 Workload Reduction:
Leave Management feature of School ERP software can significantly reduce the
workload of staff. It was in the traditional system, leave applications are handled by the
HR Department and also the decision of leave approval/denial is to be done by them.
Automating leave management system starts with feeding the required leave rules and
guidelines in the system. Teachers/Students can apply for leaves with their specific
logins, the automated system process the leaves by going through the specific

2. guidelines, and provides intimation of approval/denial for the teacher/student through
SMS/ Push Notifications.
 Transparency:
All the teacher/student leaves are made available in their respective portals, like number of
leaves availed, number of leaves available etc., this can help in maintaining the
transparency of the leave management system, preventing any type of favouritism or
partiality from the HR Team.
This type of transparent system also ensures that students/teachers can have a clearer view
of their leaves available, and in better planning.
 Availability:
Leave management system keeps track of the teacher’s availability at any given time, by
knowing the leave of a teacher on a particular day in advance; the management can
make alternate arrangements for the class, without disturbing the class schedule.
 Automatic Salary Management:
Leave management system integrated with Biometrics can help in keeping tracking of the
attendance of teachers/ staff, depending upon the leave policies, any deduction in salary will be
done automatically by the system , and is informed to the employee through notifications.
A robust and flawless leave management system is crucial for handing school operations with ease.
