It offers streamlined operations, fair application of leave policies, introduction of more statistical reports and a more productive workforce. The development methods used were Process Modeling and UML diagrams. The tools and languages used in developing the system were Ajax, Adobe Flash and Flash Player, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5 and CSS3 for the client-side coding and PHP for the server-side coding. MySQL was used for the database and XAMPP as the web server. The development environment was Eclipse Web Tools Platform, and the development framework was CodeIgniter. Structured questionnaires were used to conduct the Preliminary Survey, System Usability and Web Usability Evaluation. The main findings of this study revealed that the system is fully compliant with the standard System Usability Guidelines. Likewise, the Web Usability showed that the employees strongly agreed on the implementation of the system in order to have a quick response and access to information.
