Implementation: Query and Analyze Leave Data from HRIS ------------------------------------------------------ ### Step 1: Query Leave Requests by Employee and Date Range Knit’s Leave Requests API enables querying employee absences either for a complete month or a custom date range. This flexibility supports both routine monthly reporting and investigation scenarios. **API Endpoint:** `GET https://api.getknit.dev/v1.0/hr.employees.leave.requests` **Query for a specific month:** ``` GET /v1.0/hr.employees.leave.requests?employeeId=emp_12345&month=2025-01 ``` **Query for a custom date range:** ``` GET /v1.0/hr.employees.leave.requests?employeeId=emp_12345&startDate=2025-01-01&endDate=2025-01-31 ``` **Parameter requirements:** - **employeeId** (required): Employee identifier from HRIS - **Time range** (required, choose one): - `month` parameter: Format YYYY-MM (e.g., “2025-01”) - `startDate` AND `endDate` parameters: Both required when using custom range - **originData** (optional): Request raw HRIS data in addition to standardized format ### Step 2: Analyze Leave Patterns and Detect Policy Compliance Issues With leave request data retrieved, implement analysis logic to detect compliance violations, fraud indicators, and policy exceptions. Different leave types and patterns suggest different risks. **Leave type categorization and risk profiles:** Leave TypeCompliance RisksFraud IndicatorsAudit RequirementsVACATIONAccrual limit violations, mandatory minimum not takenExcessive vacation during critical periodsAccrual calculation verificationSICKExceeding sick leave allowance, pattern abuseFriday/Monday clustering, same-day requestsMedical documentation for extended absencesPERSONALUsage exceeds allocationFrequent personal days during busy seasonsApproval verificationPARENTALFMLA compliance, duration limitsNone (typically well-documented)FMLA eligibility and duration trackingBEREAVEMENTExceeding policy limits (typically 3-5 days)Excessive bereavement claimsVerification of qualifying relationships### Step 3: Generate Compliance Reports and Fraud Alerts With leave patterns analyzed, create actionable outputs: compliance reports for audit evidence, fraud alerts for investigation, and policy exception notifications for HR review.
