Leave of Absence Analyst Graduate; LOA BS​/MS

Leave of Absence Analyst Graduate (LOA) - 2026 Start (BS/MS)

Join Tik Tok in the HR Lifecycle Operations team to deliver a seamless, positive employee experience across the entire employee lifecycle. As a Benefits Specialist, you will support various employee benefits including Leave of Absence (LOA), healthcare benefits, and 401(k) retirement plans. This role requires strong knowledge of leave management, benefits operations, compliance requirements, vendor management, and system optimization.

• LLA Data Analysis & Trend Identification
  • Conduct descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis on LOA data:
    • Descriptive:
      Track key LOA metrics such as total LOA cases per quarter, average leave duration by type, department‑wise leave rate, and approval/rejection rate.
    • Diagnostic:
      Investigate anomalies such as sudden spikes in medical leave and identify root causes (e.g., workplace stress, seasonal illnesses, policy gaps).
    • Predictive:
      Forecast future leave demand (e.g., peak parental leave periods, Q4 sick leave trends) to support workforce planning.
  • Analyze LOA impact on business operations (e.g., project delays due to key employee leave) and quantify associated costs (e.g., payroll for paid leave, hiring temporary staff).
  • Reporting & Visualization
    • Develop regular (weekly/monthly/quarterly) LOA reports and dashboards for stakeholders using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Excel, or SQL.
    • Translate complex data insights into clear, actionable recommendations.
    • Present analysis results in meetings (e.g., quarterly HR reviews) and tailor communication to non‑technical audiences.
  • Policy Optimization & Compliance Support
    • Evaluate the effectiveness of existing LOA policies using data metrics and employee feedback.
    • Provide data support for policy updates (e.g., adjusting paid leave limits, adding new leave types) to ensure alignment with labor laws such as FMLA and EU Working Time Directive.
    • Collaborate with HRBP teams to communicate policy changes to employees and track adoption rates.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration
    • Partner with payroll teams to integrate LOA data with payroll processes (e.g., accurate calculation of paid leave wages).
    • 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 (e.g., custom fields, automated workflows).

• Currently pursuing an Undergraduate or Master’s in Data Science, Statistics, Human Resources Management, Business Analytics, or a related field.
• Proficiency in data querying tools (SQL, HQL) to extract LOA data from HRIS/payroll systems.
• Experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, Qlik) and advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, 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 leave‑of‑absence types and relevant labor laws (e.g., FMLA, local statutory regulations).
• Knowledge of HR operations (payroll, workforce planning, employee relations) to contextualize LOA data insights.

• 0‑3 years of experience in HR analytics or workforce analytics, preferably focused on leave management, payroll, or employee relations.
• Certification in data analytics (e.g., Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate, Tableau Desktop Specialist) or HR (e.g., SHRM‑CP, PHR).
• Experience working in a global organization, familiar with U.S. leave policies and multi‑country data standards.
