Leave Management in Meridian ESP

Entitlements & Forecasting

All employees can view their current leave entitlements, as well as forecast annual leave. 

Applications

All employees can submit a leave application based on the following leave types: sick leave; annual leave; public holiday and extra leave. Manager users can submit leave on behalf of their employees.

Approvals

Manager Users approve or decline leave applications online. They can view all their employees’ leave entitlements and any approved or pending leave applications. Once approved, the leave details are imported into the payroll system to be included in the next pay cycle. Meridian ESP only allows single-level leave approval setup, pending approvals will not be escalated.

Leave & Work Planners

Manager users have access to the leave planner that displays employees who are on leave at any given time. If you have employees that work on a permanent part-time basis, then they will appear on the work planner. This allows the system to know what week days an employee is entitled to take leave.

Public Holidays

If public holidays are set up and allocated within Meridian, then ESP will automatically deduct this day from the leave application when an employee applies for a leave period that includes a public holiday.

Email notifications

Meridian ESP provides email workflow at every stage of the application process. Emails will be generated for applications, approvals, declines and cancelations.

Leave Types

The portal is flexible enough to handle the following types of leave: annual leave, personal leave (sick and carers), long service leave, time in lieu and any other leave reasons (including leave not linked to leave accruals, eg. jury duty). The leave types are mapped to leave reasons within Meridian to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the payroll data.
