CHAPTER 1

1. INTRODUCTION

Information Technology has revolutionized the life of human beings’ and has made the lives easier by the
various kinds of applications. In the light of the rapid changes with the use of IT, there are many tools, technologies and
systems that have been produced and invented. In the modern world, time is short so if there are many
processes taken place at same time within a place there is a need for integration of all the processes, creation of
paperless environment also ensures efficient task management. Nowadays most of the institutions are shifting to
computer based system. The purpose to having a computer based system is, it helps to increase the market
share and it’s very easy for customers to use. It is increasing the demand among the customer. This
project was concerned with developing a School Leave Management System (SLMS). In this system
the leave management becomes more efficient & easier to handle with its reliable system components.

There are many types of leaves which are provided to an employee and an employee can use these leaves according to
their necessity. The different types of leaves are:

TYPES OF LEAVE

All about Annual Leave, Maternity Leave, Bereavement Leave, Sick Leave, Study Leave,
Compassionate Leave and Salaries on My wage Zambia. (WageIndicator2018-Mywage.org/Zambia)
states and explains the following types of leaves in Zambia which an employee is entitled to

1. ANNUAL LEAVE

This is the total number of off days an employee is entitled to annually. It excludes Sundays and
gazetted public holidays. These total numbers of days accrue either monthly, e.g two days per month or
sometimes fixed, eg 18 days per annum. Annual leave is most often paid leave unless otherwise stated.
In most institutions leave pay is equal to the monthly salary.

2. COMMUTATION

According to (wage indicator 2018) states that commutative leave is usually done at the discretion of
the employer. It entails “selling” excess leave days back to the employer in exchange for cash. Excess
days would constitute those leave days left over after one has proceeded on leave.

3. MATERNITY LEAVE

This leave is granted to a female employee who has delivered or is about to deliver.

In Zambia, all non-represented/non-unionised workers are allowed 120 working days unpaid maternity
leave (this figure excludes weekends and public holidays). This includes soldiers, public service
workers, domestic workers, police, and teachers in public or government schools.

All workers whose employers allow them to form or join unions or be represented are allowed 90 days
paid maternity leave (this figure excludes weekends and public holidays), with provision to negotiate
for more time (4-6 months) through collective bargaining. This includes teachers in private schools,
doctors in private health facilities, accountants, bankers, miners and in journalists.

This leave does not reduce annual leave days nor affect monthly pay. Excess days arising from illness
as a result of delivery are also granted at no cost or effect to the employee as provided for under law.
This leave is special as it excludes access to any other leave available. One cannot be stopped from
taking it even if you have no leave days or have already been on leave. It’s the only leave that is purely

exclusive.
However, maternity leave can only be taken by an employee who has completed at least two years of
continuous service with her employer. (Laws of Zambia Act 18 of 2012)

4. SICK LEAVE

An employee is granted this leave for the purpose of medical reasons, either recovery from illness or to
seek medical attention. Sick leave is often negotiable for unionised employees; but the statute states 90
days on full pay and the next 90 days on half pay and thereafter the employee is medically discharged
from employment. (Statutory Instruments No. 2 of 2002)

5. LOCAL LEAVE (CASUAL LEAVE)

This is a type of short leave, ideally ten days, which one can take to attend to personal issues if
provided for by the employment contract. These days are normally reduced from the accumulated
annual leave days explained above. However, this type of leave will not in any way affect your pay
cheque. (Laws of Zambia Act 18 of 2012)

6. COMPASSIONATE LEAVE

This leave is granted when one has had a bereavement of a registered family member. Mostly, the
maximum is ten days and it’s paid for. So, you don’t lose either your annual leave days nor your pay
for the absent days. (Laws of Zambia Act 18 of 1982)

7. NURSING LEAVE

This is leave taken when one has to stay home and nurse a registered child or spouse. Usually the time
frame is negotiated, but where it is fixed it usually does not exceed 30 consecutive days in any given
year. As above, it is also paid for and does not affect the accrued annual leave days nor monthly pay.
(Laws of Zambia Act 18 of 1982)

8. STUDY LEAVE

This is time off given for the purpose of undertaking studies or sitting for exams. This varies in
institutions in terms of length. Also, it’s paid for and does not affect either annual leave days or
monthly pay.
However, this usually has a condition in terms of eligibility (you must have served the company for a

specified period) and then the study programme must have relevance to your job. And one can usually
only access this once a year, unless otherwise negotiated. (Laws of Zambia Act 18 of 1982)

Application of leave in Zambia has been a long process and time consuming since it is done manually
hence the data for the current system is easily manipulated and is having challenges to keep track of the
records. Some employees have reported that when an application leave is made, the application form
gets lost before reaching in the office to the relevant people for approval hence the applicant is made to
apply for leave again which is stationery wastage and time consuming. In the current system it takes
time to notice who is on leave and who is not on leave which leads to shortage of man power in an
institution. This has brought about difficulties in report generation.

The above mentioned problems will be resolved with the development of Leave Management System.
The system has been designed as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMD). A relational
database management system is a database management (DBMS) that is based on the relational model
as invented by E.F.C. Codd, of IBM’s San Jose Research Laboratory. Many popular databases
currently in use are based on relational model.

RDBMS has become a predominant choice for the storage of information in new databases used for
different types of record. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and
network databases because they are easier to understand and use. However relational databases have
been challenged by object databases, which were introduced in an attempt to address the object-
relational impedance mismatch in relational database, and XML databases.

The project comes under RDBMS category. The project handles the huge data in an institution
subjected to employee, their leave detail. The RDMS is capable of creating storage, keeping data,
manipulating data and retrieving data in desired manner. The physical leave form has guided the
database architecture design and all the database information will be manipulated by the system. The
system is able to generate a unique id which will help the user to login into the system and request for
leave. The system will also be able to generate reports and email notification, approval or reject leave.

The mentioned problems which includes: manipulation of data, misplacement of records, high cost on
buying stationery, time consuming for the procedure to finish and receive the reply whether approved
or rejected or pending.

1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

The current manual system is suffering from a series of drawbacks. Since the whole of the system is maintained with
hands the process of keeping, maintaining and retrieving the information is very tedious and lengthy. The records are not
in order, there are difficulties in associating any transaction or process in particular context. If any information is found it
required to go through different departments, and documents do not exist like report generation. There is unnecessary
consumption of time while the leave process approval is being processed and also retrieving records. One problem is that
it is difficult to find errors while entering or filing the records. Once the records are filed, it is difficult to update or once the
file is misplaced it is difficult to find it. (Choudhury 2005)

The reason behind is that there is a lot of information to be maintained which leads to some errors and time consuming
during the process of leave application. It is for this reason that the system is automated (computerized).

1.2 .General objective

To automate and update leave information of the employees

Specific objectives include:

➢ To handle proper and full information of every leave which have been provided by the institution.
➢ To manipulate leave information of employee for the institution.
➢ To generate reports for management from various modules

1.3. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The web based automated school leave management system is expected to improve the management of
leave applications in the organization since currently the organization is using a manual system to
manage leave applications. The automated system will improve the existing system and be beneficial to
the members of staff in the sense that they would not have to apply for leave manually, the authorities
in charge of the approval also will not approve /reject leave manually and all leave records and reports
are generated online.

All the technologies i.e. PHP, Apache and MySQL used for current system design are open source and
hence freely available for download. PHP provides a strong platform for creating the visual front-end
of the web application and PHP combined with HTML provides a very flexible development
environment. For fulfilling Web Server requirements XAMPP was used, which is again Open Source
and is supported across multiple platforms. In order to maintain visual consistency jQuery was used for
simpler implementation of certain features. For constant testing, analysis and execution needs, Firefox
and Google Chrome web-browsers were used. With a combination of all these technologies, we were
able to create a web application environment that is efficient and consistent enough.

The primary objective of my project and development was to automate leave management application
procedure. It has been achieved successfully and the system is tested to be working efficiently.

Online application of the whole system helps easy access to the system anywhere. There is no need of
collecting the leave application forms and apply manually. The time taken for process completion is
now largely reduced. After application, the database is automatically updated at the end of process
completion removing the hassle for department officials who had to enter the data manually. As the
database is managed through MySQL, data duplication is eliminated and thereby reducing chances of
error. In addition, data can be now be easily retrieved, edited and printed whenever required.
Authentication based access proves to be more secure than manual system. The data is maintained on a
central server and is distributed among different departments as per requirement and copies of this
database are maintained on backup servers. In addition, database access is authorised and cannot be
viewed or edited by unauthorized personnel. This automated and computerised system has security
(safe), user friendly and fast.

CHAPTER TWO: LITERURE REVIEW

2.1 Existing system
The existing system is manual. It is a lengthy process and this process is not optimized. (Ansari 2017)
The applicant has to collect a leave form for a specific leave application and write the details then take
to relevant authorities for approval either to be granted, rejected or pending. The applicant is left in
suspense because the response will not be received there and then after the application is made and it
should be done three months before to the relevant authority.
Disadvantages of the existing system
❖ Misplacement of papers
❖ manipulation of papers
❖ Time wastage
❖ Natural disasters
Why was the System designed?
➢ The system was designed to automate the existing system.
➢ It decreases the paper work and easier record maintenance by having a database for leaves
maintenance.
➢ Leave management system reduces the over work and time duration. It provides an easy
maintained and systematic environment for the higher panel (HOD/ principle) for
approval of leave
Advantages of the system designed
➢ Reduction of paper work
➢ It is cheaper
➢ Reduction of over work and time
➢ Easy access of records
➢ Good record keeping
➢ Visibility of employee availability
➢ Accurate information

2.2 Analysis of the proposed system

Leave Management system was designed/ developed for an employee to apply for leave online. The
application forms have been designed to be user friendly and fill in easily hence there will be no time
consuming and also less expenses on stationery compared to the process of filling in the forms
manually. The system was developed in web bases completely and was required to use web
technologies appropriately.
Feasibility studies aim to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the
existing system or proposed venture. In its simplest term, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost
required and value to be attained. As such, a well-designed feasibility study should provide historical
background of the project. Generally, feasibility studies precede technical development and project
implementation. The assessment of feasibility study is based on the following factors:
➢ Technical Feasibility
➢ Operational Feasibility
Generally, feasibility studies precede technical development and project implementation. The
assessment is based on a system requirement in terms of Input, Processes, Output, Fields, Programs,
and Procedure. This can be quantified in terms of volumes of data, trends, frequency of updating, etc.,
in order to estimate whether the new system will perform adequately or not. Technological feasibility is
carried out to determine the capability, in terms of software, hardware, personnel and expertise, to
handle the completion of the project.
Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems, and takes
advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it satisfies the requirements
identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development. The operational feasibility of the
system can be checked as it solves the problems and reduces the complications occurring in the paper
work.
➢ Technical Feasibility: The system can be implemented using computer software & hardware
➢ Operational Feasibility: The system efficiently operates & reduces manual computation and
time of processing, reducing cost of paperwork and human errors.

ICT is a generic term referring to technologies which are being used for collecting, storing, editing and
passing on information in various forms (SER, 1997).

How use of ICT is essential for human life? ICT does not drain. Where is its place in our country? How
can it be utilized in various matters? What is the reason behind of the third world information
technology? The use of IT can be a part of the country's backwardness in the field of science, industry
and agriculture was the compensation? Questions and these questions in the minds of managers and
experts, including academic centers and institutions of higher education have to work. Fields of study,
including the role of ICT in developing countries can be examined, particularly its impact on the
organization and the impact of the training process in the organization will be. Today we see the
rapidly changing environment threatens the life of many organizations Global economic pressures are
pushing forward the regional economy, new media and new technology, the global consumer culture,
the emergence of global standards and possibility of sharing the costs, impact of environmental
changes that exist in today's organizations. (Goudarzi, Gmynyan, 2003) threatened the survival of
many organizations to adapt to environmental changes. Evolution theory suggests that the
environmental variable and uncertain environmental, require a variety of different organizations that
environmental changes have coincided with the high flexibility topics such as education and
improvement have become a very important strategy for organizations. In fact, training is considered
assets are considered stable. Because measuring return on investment in education and development,
especially in the short time it may be difficult. This particular type of employees, their skills and
knowledge bases to achieve its strategic objectives are due to changes in work and organizational
context in which work is performed as prerequisite organizations requires the position of continuous
innovative training and strategic development certain to run The views Decenzo and Robbins (1988)
"Education is experience-based learning and to make changes in a relatively stable, so he can work and
improve the ability to change the skills, knowledge, attitudes and social behavior. The concept of
education is to change knowledge, attitudes and interaction with colleagues (Decenzo. Robbins 1988).
The Singer's view (1990) "requires the use of training programs is expected to strengthen the
competence of the staff and the knowledge, skills and abilities in a person is, in a way that facilitates
improved job performance to. (Singer, 1990) Whether this new perspective on the use of ICT in the
learning process has increased the satisfaction levels of employees, enhance knowledge and improve
their skills, increase process efficiency and ultimately increase the effectiveness of the training process
been effective?

ICT and Literacy in Schools

Research shows that proper use of ICT can change the location of the content and educational
technology in the 21st century in the heart of educational reform are in place, will accelerate. ICT-
supported education, if well designed can be acquired knowledge and skills needed for lifelong
employees, to promote. ICT If it is used (especially the "computer and Internet technology it properly,
rather than just teachers and students allow those who have "performed better overall performance,
they provide new ways of education. These new ways of teaching and learning by teaching learning

among teachers and professionals regardless of their location can be strengthened. Apart from bilateral
relations, ICT-based learning opportunities for employers to work with people of different cultures, and
thereby provides the communication skills of employees to improve their team classification (such as
global awareness) helps. ICT Education based on ICT, training was conducted throughout the life of
the employers with the development educational space to not only peers but also for educators and
experts in various fields can be used. Creative Learning - ICT-based learning and applying the
information to create products of the real world to promote the information.
From the review of literature above, it has reviewed the relationship between ICT and education is
very important in an organization hence the school boards or management of institutions should
endeavor to empower and engage with more input and control over the employee’s/staff work life.
Through the management of leaves, one can quickly build the workflows and processes. The powerful
flexibility features keep employees current and compliant even as rules and regulations change. For
competent management of business process, computerization is a must in today’s scenario.

CHAPTER THREE
3.0 METHODOLOGY
The step which was used in developing a system was to identify the need to change and improve an
existing system. An investigation was carried out at Mary Queen of Peace Girls School. The design
was guided by the physical leave form which will define the architecture of the database
The approach which was used in this research was by designing the system and the following
languages were used to design the school leave management system;
❖ Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is programming language that allows web developers to create
dynamic content that interacts with databases. PHP is basically used for developing web based
software applications. PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is
used to manage dynamic content, databases, session tracking even build entire e-commerce
sites. It is integrated with a number of popular databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, Sybase, Informix and Microsoft SQL Server
❖ MySQL is the most popular open source relational SQL database management. MySQL is one
of the best RDBMS being used for developing wed based software applications. MySQL is a
very powerful program in its own right. It handles a large subset of functionality of the most
expensive and powerful database packages. MySQL is very user friendly to PHP, the most
appreciated language for web development.
❖ Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of
a document written in a markup language .Cascading means that styles can fall (or cascade)
from one style sheet to another, enabling multiple style style sheets to be used on one HTML
document. It brings a lot of long –awaited novelties, like rounded corners, shadows, gradients,
transitions or animations, as well as new layouts like multiple-columns, flexible box or grid
layouts.
❖ JavaScript is prototype-based with first class functions, making it a multi-paradgm language
supporting object-oriented, imperative and functional programming styles. JavaScript is a
programming language that is run by most modern browsers. It supports object – oriented
programming and procedural programming. It can be used to control web pages on the client
side of the browser, server side programs, and even mobile applications.

❖ jQuery is a JavaScript Library. jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript programming. jQuery is a

fast, small, and feature- rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document
transversal and manipulation, event handling, and animation.

3.1 Proposed system

The web application consists of four modules
❖ Admin
❖ Employee
❖ HOD
❖ Principle

APPLY LEAVE
In this module an employee can apply their leave application through online. User should login with
username and password. A comparison is done for a user name and for a password if the correct user id
and password are supplied then, main menu of online leave form will be displayed to the user.

ADMIN MODULE
❖ The initial step which is handled by the admin module is to create a unique user account for
each employee in the institution.
❖ This module handles administrative functions of the system and is used by the head.
❖ The head of department will enter the leave eligibility for each employee, for each type of the
leave at the beginning of the year.

CHAPTER FOUR
Results/Outputs
The development of School Leave Management System has led to reduction of manual work and
simplified the work. Previously the system was tedious hence maintenance of data was a great
challenge. The School Leave Management System has made work easier by applying for leave
anywhere and anytime. The applicant would just log in the system and apply for leave and within few
minutes a notification is received. The figure below shows the login system of an applicant.

The Head of department duties has been simplified because previously there was collection of
records then check manually which employee/teacher is on leave but with School Leave
Management System the Head of Department will login to the system and check on the
records without wasting time. The figure below shows the Head of Department dashboard.

The head of department is able to login into the system, apply for leave, verify leave, and
check the records of leave.

The applicant previously would move from one place to another in order to apply for leave and in the
process chances of manipulating data were very high and it was also time consuming but with School
Leave Management System the applicant will apply online in his/her comfort zone without wasting
much time. The figure below shows the applicant dashboard

Figure 12: Teacher’s page Source: Linda Malomo, 2018

The above figure shows the services of the teacher. The teacher will log in and be able to apply for
leave, check the status and check the records.

CHAPTER FIVE

5.1 Limitations
❖ The leave status cannot be cleared until and unless the principal/or head teacher
approves/rejects the application and the staff/employee cannot cancel the leave application once
made.
❖ The system will not function properly with the multiple computers in the network and the
system will fail if the server fails, but the data will remain stored in the database
❖ The system will be accessed by those with smart phones and computers.
❖ Training for simple computer operations is necessary for the users working on the system

5.2 CONCLUSION
Leave management system will be very useful for the institution to maintain the leave records of
employees.
This system will not only maintain the leave records of the staff, it will also maintain the leave
application of the staff
The higher authority may accept or reject the applications requested by the staff. Thus this system
maintains the excess amount of job done by the institution to maintain the leaves.
The system also approaches to reduce the formalities and delay by faculty members for the approval of
leave.

5.3 Recommendations
A recommendation would be made on the system that there should be a provision for the pupils to be
part of the system because of the re-entry police. Re-entry police is the process when a pupil gets
pregnant and is given a maternity leave which shows that the pupils are also entitled get leave if a need
arises.
The other recommendation is for managers to organize workshops for the staff in order for them to be
computer literate.
