Leave & Attendance — Under 100 People
What This Process Does
Leave & attendance covers when people aren't working — paid time off (vacation, personal days), sick leave, parental leave, bereavement, jury duty, and legally-protected leaves (FMLA once you're 50+ employees, state-specific leave laws below that). At under 100 people, this is usually handled in Gusto/Rippling/BambooHR, self-service for requests, manager-approved, with HR oversight on compliance-triggered leave.
The job: give employees reasonable time off, track it accurately, comply with state/federal law, and handle medical/parental leaves with care. Complexity comes from state leave laws (California, New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington all have distinct statutory leave requirements that compound as you hire remotely).
