Leave request is one of many HR-related workflows that can be automated using WEBCON BPS.
The process of submitting a leave request and obtaining approval involves an applicant, their immediate supervisor and the personnel department seems very complicated at first. In practice, processing a leave request usually involves:
- automatic verification of the amount of leave an applicant is entitled to at the registration stage;
- verification of dates based on leave requests submitted in the department to coordinate absences;
- sending the request to the superior for approval;
- notifying the personnel department of the approved leave request, followed by entering the leave in the HR system;
- automatic setting of employee's absence in Microsoft Exchange calendar; and
- automatic setting of a replacement in workflow processes being assigned to the substitute.
An important feature of the WEBCON BPS platform is the possibility to link additional actions to each step of the above process. These actions may include emailing the supervisor after submitting the leave request and emailing the substitute once the request is approved, entering the approval into the HR system, notifying customers assigned to a given employee, etc.
