Overview Responsibilities for the Leave of Absence (LOA) Analyst role include auditing, analyzing, and visualizing LOA data across the organization to identify trends, anomalies, and root causes. The role provides data-driven insights to optimize LOA policies, reduce leave-related risks, improve workforce scheduling, and enhance employee well-being. The LOA Analyst collaborates with HR business partners, payroll teams, and department managers to ensure data analysis aligns with business goals and compliance with labor laws. Key Responsibilities LOA Data Collection & Governance Gather end-to-end LOA data from multiple sources (HRIS systems like Workday/SAP SuccessFactors, payroll platforms, leave request portals, and manual records). Ensure data accuracy per payroll cycle; monitor data quality over time and troubleshoot discrepancies with cross-functional teams (e.g., mismatches between leave requests and payroll deductions). Maintain data completeness and consistency through regular data cleaning and establish data governance rules (e.g., LOA data metrics, data dictionaries). LOA Data Analysis & Trend Identification Conduct descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis on LOA data. Descriptive: track metrics such as total LOA cases per quarter, average leave duration by type, department-wise leave rate, and approval/rejection rates. Diagnostic: investigate anomalies and identify root causes (e.g., spikes in medical leave, policy gaps). Predictive: forecast future LOA demand to support workforce planning. Analyze LOA impact on operations and quantify associated costs (e.g., payroll for paid leave, need for temporary staff). Reporting & Visualization Develop regular LOA reports and dashboards for stakeholders using tools like Tableau, Power BI, Excel, or SQL. Translate insights into actionable recommendations (e.g., policy adjustments based on comparative leave durations). Present results in meetings and tailor communications for non-technical audiences. Policy Optimization & Compliance Support Evaluate policy effectiveness using data metrics and employee feedback. Provide data support for policy updates (e.g., adjusting paid leave limits, adding new leave types) to align with labor laws and best practices. Collaborate with HRBP teams to communicate changes and track adoption. Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with payroll to ensure LOA data integrates with payroll processes. Work with department managers to address team-specific LOA issues and develop targeted solutions. Liaise with tech teams to enhance HRIS functionality for LOA data tracking. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Human Resources Management, Business Analytics, or related field. Master’s degree is a plus. Proficiency in data querying tools (SQL, HQL) and data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, Qlik); strong Excel skills (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, macros). Basic knowledge of statistical analysis (trend analysis, correlation, forecasting) and data cleaning techniques. Familiarity with HRIS platforms (Workday, ADP) is highly preferred. Understanding of LOA types and relevant labor laws (e.g., FMLA, regional regulations). Strong analytical thinking and ability to translate business problems into data questions. Preferred Qualifications 3–5 years of experience in HR analytics, workforce analytics, or data analysis (experience with leave management, payroll, or employee relations). Excellent communication and written skills for presenting data to non-technical stakeholders. Attention to detail and ability to work cross-functionally across HR, payroll, IT, and departments. Certification in data analytics or HR (e.g., Google Data Analytics, Tableau, SHRM-CP, PHR).
