What's sick leave? Definition and principles

It's a leave of absence caused by personal illness or injury. It also includes taking leave to care for a sick family member.

How does sick leave work in the US?

The US federal laws do not guarantee every employee any sick leave entitlement, paid or not.

However, companies that fall under the Family and Medical Leave must ensure their employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave and job protection in a twelve-month period for qualifying life events, such as:

  • Childbirth and taking care of a newborn.

  • Adoption and bonding with a new child.

  • Serious health condition (personal or to care of a sick member of immediate family).

Employees are also eligible to take sick leave if:

  • They are incapacitated for the performance of duties due to a physical or mental issue, injury, childbirth,

  • There is a risk of jeopardizing other employees because of exposure to a communicable disease,

  • They receive examinations or treatments (medical, optical, dental).

However, guaranteeing employees' paid leave entitlement has now become more common in state leave laws. So far, the District of Columbia, 19 states, and several municipalities across the country have passed paid sick time rules and ordinances.

Offering paid leave helps employers attract new talents. It also puts already-hired employees at ease because they don't have to worry about their financial state when they fall sick and need to stay home to rest.

Why track sick days with time and leave management software?

The key benefits of tracking sick time with a leave management software include:

  • Reduced administrative burden: Even a simple absence management system helps you manage repetitive tasks and streamlines employee data organization. Besides, it automatically calculates an entire team's leave balances, so employees don't need to ask managers if they can issue another absence request; they can just check it themselves.

  • Compliance with state leave laws: Employee management software adjusts to the legal requirements for sick time entitlement in your state so that you can set the rules once and forget about them until the laws are updated.

  • Tracking leave requests: An absence management software automates administrative work by allowing employees to request and employers to approve leave with just a few clicks. It saves time and reduces paperwork.

  • Complete overview of staffing needs: Time and attendance tools keep you up to date with current workforce availability so you can quickly assess whether to approve or deny a leave request or whether your team needs new hires.

  • Data accuracy: Documents filled out and submitted by hand can be easily missed by the managers and are prone to human error. However, if you manage leave with an online absence management system, you can be sure it provides you with secure and accurate data.

Numerous advantages prove that time tracking and leave management software is essential for every company to manage leave and absence easily. Once the administrative burden is reduced by automating the request and approval processes, team managers can focus better on accomplishing the team's objectives and their own assignments as regular employees.
