Essentially, timekeeping is the process of tracking the time spent on work from start to finish. A variety of timekeeping systems have been put in place to facilitate this process, including clocks, timesheets, timesheets, and now specialty software.
Nowadays, most companies use a software-based timekeeping management system since it's more efficient and costs less. Those who don't, like with most on-site construction companies, use time clocks and timekeepers.
Part of the timekeeping scope of the company is the leave application.
A leave application is basically a formal way of asking for a break from work for a particular time period.
The reason for the leave must be included in the request and it is critical to ensure that it is acceptable to your institution or organization.
If you are having a decent reason for leave application then your request will not be declined without any justification, particularly, when it is due to some personal reasons, like illness, urgent piece of work or for visiting sick parents, etc.
The company now uses Sprout which is a web-based attendance and payroll software. Sprout HR & Payroll offers an easier, faster, and more accurate way to manage payroll and timekeeping processes.
With Sprout, you can easily file for leaves through Sprout HR, anytime, anywhere.
There are two ways to file for a leave. Let's take a closer look at each one of them:

1. Under the My Stuff panel, select Leave from the drop-down list that appears.
