Leave, Time and Attendance Administration

Errors in leave and attendance quietly erode trust and inflate cost. This practical programme equips HR and payroll administrators to apply leave rules accurately, manage time and attendance systems and keep clean, defensible records. It addresses common African workplace challenges including shift work, public holidays across jurisdictions and manual to digital attendance transitions.

Calculate leave accruals, balances and carry over correctly.
Administer time and attendance for shift and irregular workers.
Manage public holidays, overtime and Sunday work fairly.
