  1. Employee Leave Request Software - Automated Approval Workflow This document outlines the requirements and design for an employee leave request software with an automated approval workflow. The software aims to streamline the leave management process, reduce administrative overhead, and provide employees with a user-friendly platform to request and track their leave. The automated approval workflow will ensure timely processing of requests based on predefined rules and hierarchies. 1. Introduction The current leave request process is manual and inefficient, involving paper forms, email exchanges, and manual tracking. This leads to delays, errors, and a lack of transparency. An automated leave request system will address these challenges by providing a centralized platform for employees to submit leave requests, managers to approve or reject them, and HR to track leave balances and generate reports. 2. Requirements 2.1 Functional Requirements • Leave Request Submission: • Employees should be able to submit leave requests online, specifying the type of leave, start date, end date, and reason for leave. • The system should support various leave types, including vacation, sick leave, personal leave, and bereavement leave. • Employees should be able to attach supporting documents to their leave requests. • The system should automatically calculate the number of leave days requested. • Automated Approval Workflow: • The system should route leave requests to the appropriate manager for approval based on the employee's reporting structure. • Managers should be able to approve or reject leave requests with comments. • The system should send automated notifications to employees and managers regarding the status of leave requests. • The system should support multiple levels of approval, if required. • The system should allow for automatic approval of leave requests based on predefined rules (e.g., requests for less than a certain number of days). • Leave Balance Tracking: • The system should track employee leave balances for each leave type. • The system should automatically update leave balances when leave requests are approved. • Employees should be able to view their current leave balances. • The system should provide alerts when an employee's leave balance is low. • Reporting and Analytics: • The system should generate reports on leave requests, leave balances, and leave usage. • Reports should be customizable based on various criteria, such as employee, department, and leave type. • The system should provide analytics on leave trends to help HR identify potential issues.

  2. • User Management: • The system should allow administrators to manage user accounts and permissions. • The system should support different user roles, such as employee, manager, and administrator. • The system should integrate with the existing HR system for user authentication. • Calendar Integration: • The system should integrate with employee calendars (e.g., Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar) to display approved leave requests. 2.2 Non-Functional Requirements • Performance: The system should be responsive and efficient, with minimal delays in processing leave requests. • Security: The system should be secure and protect sensitive employee data. • Usability: The system should be user-friendly and easy to navigate. • Scalability: The system should be able to handle a large number of users and leave requests. • Availability: The system should be available 24/7. • Maintainability: The system should be easy to maintain and update. 3. System Design 3.1 Architecture The system will be a web-based application with a three-tier architecture: • Presentation Tier: User interface for employees, managers, and administrators. • Application Tier: Business logic for processing leave requests, managing leave balances, and generating reports. • Data Tier: Database for storing employee data, leave requests, and leave balances. 3.2 Database Design The database will include the following tables: • Employees: Employee ID, Name, Department, Manager ID, Email, Leave Balances • LeaveRequests: Request ID, Employee ID, Leave Type, Start Date, End Date, Reason, Status, Approval Date, Approver ID • LeaveTypes: Leave Type ID, Leave Type Name, Description • Users: User ID, Username, Password, Role • Approvals: Approval ID, Request ID, Approver ID, Approval Date, Status, Comments 3.3 Workflow 1. Employee Submits Leave Request: The employee logs into the system and submits a leave request, specifying the leave type, start date, end date, and reason. 2. Request Routing: The system automatically routes the leave request to the employee's manager based on the reporting structure. 3. Manager Approval/Rejection: The manager receives a notification and reviews the leave request. The manager can approve or reject the request with comments. 4. Notification: The system sends an automated notification to the employee regarding the status of the leave request.

  3. 5. Leave Balance Update: If the leave request is approved, the system automatically updates the employee's leave balance. 6. Calendar Integration: The approved leave request is automatically added to the employee's calendar. 7. Reporting: HR can generate reports on leave requests, leave balances, and leave usage. 3.4 Technology Stack • Frontend: React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript • Backend: Node.js, Express.js • Database: PostgreSQL • Cloud Platform: AWS or Azure 4. Implementation 4.1 Development Process The development process will follow an Agile methodology, with short sprints and frequent releases. 4.2 Testing The system will be thoroughly tested to ensure that it meets the requirements. Testing will include unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. 4.3 Deployment The system will be deployed to a cloud platform. 5. Conclusion The employee leave request software with an automated approval workflow will significantly improve the efficiency and transparency of the leave management process. By automating the process, the software will reduce administrative overhead, minimize errors, and provide employees with a user-friendly platform to request and track their leave. The reporting and analytics features will provide valuable insights into leave trends, helping HR to identify potential issues and improve workforce planning.
