Abstract:
Employee leave management system combine number of processes and systems to automate and
easily manage employee data, leave request, track and grant leave. In many institution staff are
entitled to different types of leave, this leave are granted according to institution policy.
Administrative department is mostly responsible for managing and granting leave request. To
this end, most institution used conventional method of requesting, granting and managing leave.
In conventional method, leave is manually request by writing letter to head of department. The
head of department minutes and forward the request to higher staff for approval. This method is
time consuming, prone to error, require more paper work and difficult to manage. Hence the
need for an automated leave management system that is faster, error free, less paper work and
easy to manage. The system was achieved by developing an automated employee leave
management system using the three-tier software architectural model. The System is
implemented using web based technologies which include CSS, JS, HTML, MySQL, PHP and
runs on Windows operating system. The overall functionality of the system shows that it work
satisfactory and the result obtained shows that the system is error free, faster and allows staff to
request for leave in a timely manner. Hence the system can be used by both academic staff and
administrative department of an institution for effective and efficient management of employee
leave. An employee leave management system (ELMS) is a digital platform designed to
streamline the process of managing employee leave requests. The system automates tasks such as
application submission, approval workflows, record-keeping, and reporting. By centralizing
leave data, ELMS minimizes errors, reduces administrative burdens, and enhances efficiency. It
offers real-time access to leave balances and schedules, facilitating better planning and decisionmaking.
Ultimately, ELMS improves transparency and responsiveness in managing employee
leaves, leading to higher employee satisfaction and operational effectiveness.
