Summary of Request

In 2018 Human Resources began using Qcera Leave Source (Qcera) to manage employee leaves.   Qcera allows staff to track short and long term leaves including State and Federal mandated leaves, as well as County specific leaves provided to its employees.  Most recently Qcera has been used to track employee leave time under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.  The program is also used to notify employees of insurance related premiums due while the employee is on leave and to notify supervisors of an employee’s anticipated return to work date. 

 

The automated nature of the software has greatly reduced the time required to accept, review, approve (or deny) leave time requested by employees. 

 

Qcera is in full compliance with all Federal and State leave laws and will automatically update as laws change. 

 

Human Resources requests approval to purchase Qcera software subscription services for another contract year.  There is no increase to the annual cost.
