Leave management without the spreadsheet chasing
Tracking leave in a spreadsheet works until it doesn't — balances go stale, approvals get buried in email, and nobody's quite sure how many casual leaves are left. Manitham HRMS works as a leave management system that keeps leave policies, requests, approvals and balances in one place that both employees and managers can see in real time.
Leave types and policies are configurable, so whether your company uses casual, sick and earned leave, or a different structure entirely, the system can be set up to match.
- Configurable leave types and accrual policies
- Online leave requests with manager approval workflows
- Real-time leave balances for employees and HR
- Company and regional holiday calendars
- Leave reports by employee, team or leave type

Employee Leave Management System
An online employee leave management system should make leave easy to request and easy to track. In Manitham HRMS, employees apply for leave online through self-service, choose the leave type, and follow the request from submission to manager decision without emailing HR.
Because the same record feeds attendance and payroll, approved leave carries through to both, so nobody re-enters it at month end.
- Apply for leave online from the employee self-service portal
- See available leave balance for each leave type
- View past leave history in one place
- Track whether a request is pending, approved or rejected
- Choose from the leave types your company has configured
- Requests follow the approval workflow set up for your team
- Approved leave reflects in attendance and payroll
Online Leave Management Software for HR
For HR, online leave management software replaces the spreadsheet and the follow-up emails. You configure policies once, and requests, approvals and balances run from there. Because leave sits inside the same HRMS as attendance and payroll, a leave management system built into your HR platform avoids the monthly reconciliation that standalone leave tools create.
Compared with standalone leave management solutions, there is one set of employee records to maintain, and leave reports can be viewed by department or team.
- Configure leave types, accrual rules and carry-forward policies
- Set up approval workflows so requests reach the right manager
- Maintain company-wide and location-specific holiday calendars
- Manage leave balances without manual adjustments
- Run leave reports by employee, team or leave type
- Track leave across departments and teams
- Keep leave in sync with attendance and payroll
