16 statements, about 10 minutes.
Your answers stay on this device until you ask for your report.
This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.
Why check this now?
Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.Leave and claims are where staff meet HR policy every week, and unclear rules lead to disputes, abuse and hidden cost. A benefits manager who can show the cost, the compliance and the take up of each benefit earns the trust of both staff and management.
What does the assessment ask?
Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.
Leave policy and administration
- Our leave policy meets at least the Employment Act 1955 minimums, including maternity and paternity leave, for the employees it covers.
- Every leave application is approved and recorded in one leave system before or on the day it is taken.
- I check leave balances, carry forward and encashment against the policy at year end.
- Unpaid leave and medical leave records are passed to payroll before the monthly cut-off.
Leisure programmes and benefit reporting
- Recreation and wellbeing programmes have a yearly plan, budget and owner.
- I track leave patterns such as unplanned absence and unused leave by department.
- I measure participation and cost for each leisure programme.
- I present a leave and leisure benefits report to management at least once a year with recommendations.
Travel and claims
- Our travel and claims policy sets clear limits and rates by grade and type of trip.
- Every claim has original receipts or approved e-receipts and is approved by the right person.
- I check claims against the policy and return claims that are late, incomplete or over the limit.
- Approved claims are paid within the time our policy promises.
Job-related benefits
- Each job-related benefit, such as a phone, car or uniform, has written eligibility rules.
- Before a benefit in kind is given, I confirm with payroll how it is treated for PCB and EPF.
- I review the cost and use of job-related benefits every year.
- I propose improvements to benefits based on cost, employee feedback and market practice.
