Leave Management

Using Duet, employees can add and process leave requests as calendar items that comply with the approval guidelines and enterprise-defined processes. Duet gives the enterprise an array of leave types to choose from, each reflecting the same definitions that exist in the human resource policies implemented in the SAP ERP application. All leave parameters, such as vacation allowances or sick days, can be configured to align with a company’s individual policy.

An employee requests a leave by selecting the desired time in the Outlook calendar. The leave management functionality then triggers a workflow that automates the approval process. For example, the workflow sends an alert to the employee’s manager, along with links to contextual information both on the employee and relevant company policy, giving the manager all information necessary to make the decision. Once the request is approved, Duet automatically sends the response to the employee's Inbox, updates all related calendars and submits the data to the SAP ERP application.
