AbsenceWise
The Future of Sick Leave and Absence Management
On average, absenteeism is estimated to cost Irish businesses about 14 million workdays annually or 7.8 days per person employed. Whilst not all absences can be eliminated, I’m sure you’ll agree, there is significant room for improvement and a proactive absence management system can quite often be the only solution.
The impact of sick leave absence is significant with lower productivity levels and increased costs affecting employers. AbsenseWise can help to minimise the negative effects and expense of sick leave by simplifying the process for calculating and reclaiming sick pay and tracking social welfare in your organisation.
AT A GLANCE, THE ABSENCEWISE MODULE:
- Helps Track Social Welfare Cheques and Payments
Highlights unreturned social welfare cheques or reduces employee salary accordingly. This will help to significantly reduce the number of cases where absent employees are benefiting from two sources of pay while out sick.
- Gives you Greater Control Over Your Profit Margins
Controls all types of leave entitlement ensuring that sick pay etc. is rightfully claimed back from either the employee or the government. AbsenceWise also assists in the drive to reduce the number of incidences of absenteeism. It looks after the logistics of leave entitlements, freeing up your time, so you can concentrate on the strategic elements of absence management.
- Simplifies the Management of Sick Leave
Eliminates the non-value added administration tasks and calculations associated with different leave types e.g. balance periods, rolling years, linking periods etc. enabling payroll personnel to quickly and easily manage individual cases of sick leave and speed up the reimbursement process.
- Reduces Processing Complications
Applies the correct balances to each leave category and employee, seamlessly links entitlement blocks, calculates anomalies such as bank holidays, half-day absences and linked periods etc. to ensure your organisation never overpays or duplicates payment of leave entitlement to employees.
- Complies with Legislation
AbsenceWise stores the parameters of legislation in relation to Carer’s, Adoptive, Parental Leave and Force Majeure. It can highlight violations in relation to legislation and provides your organisation with an unobtrusive method of recording and complying with legislation.
REPORTS
AbsenceWise integrates with the ClockWise Time & Attendance/Flexitime solution as well as third party HR, Payroll and T&A systems or can be implemented as a stand alone product. With AbsenceWise, management and/or users can quickly and easily generate a wide variety of reports on “leave types” such as:
- Balance Reports – Keep track of how many sick days have been taken by each employee to date, how many sick days employees are entitled to, how many employees have taken more than their entitlement, how many employees are not entitled to sick leave etc.
- Social Welfare Payment Reports – Stay on top of your sick leave costs by running regular reports on employees who have not returned disability payments to your organisation and how much is outstanding.
- Violation Reports – Reference rule violations against employees eg. employees who have been paid certified sick leave even though their maximum entitlement has been exceeded.
- Carer’s Leave Reports – Monitor employees taking Carer’s Leave through reports that illustrate if minimum notice has been given, if a certificate has been produced, whom the leave has been taken in relation to etc.
- Parental / Adoptive Leave Reports – Highlight employees who have / have not given minimum notice, who have / have not produced a birth certificate, who have taken leave outside valid dates etc. to ensure accurate information is stored in the system.
- Force Majeure Reports – Monitor the extent of Force Majeure in your organisation and report on those whom the absence was taken against eg. a parent or a child to ensure employees do not abuse the benefit.
