How flexitime management works in TimeTally

1

Extra hours logged in timesheet

Employees record their actual hours in the timesheet. Hours beyond their contracted amount are identified as flexi credit — automatically calculated.

2

Flexi credit approved as TOIL

Extra hours are submitted as a TOIL accrual request. The manager approves at the agreed rate (typically 1:1 for flexitime), adding hours to the employee's flexi balance.

3

Employee books flexi time off

When the balance allows, employees request a flexi day or half day off. The manager approves, the balance reduces, and it appears on the team calendar like any other absence.

Flexi days and all absence on one team calendar

Flexi days off appear alongside annual leave and sick leave on the team calendar. Managers check coverage before approving — and employees see their own flexi balance in real time.

All absence in one calendar

Flexi days, annual leave, and sick leave — one calendar, no blind spots

Frequently Asked Questions

How does flexitime management work in TimeTally?

Flexitime arrangements in TimeTally use TOIL as the tracking mechanism. Extra hours worked above contracted hours accrue as TOIL credit at 1:1. Employees can then take TOIL leave (flexi days off) when their balance allows — the same approval flow as annual leave, with full balance visibility.

Can employees see their flexi balance in real time?

Yes. Every employee can see their current TOIL/flexi balance in the TimeTally app at any time. They see accruals, bookings, and the running balance — full transparency reduces queries to managers.

Can we set a maximum flexi balance?

Yes. Set a maximum balance cap in your TOIL policy — for example, employees can hold a maximum of 40 hours. You can also set an expiry period, so flexi hours must be used within a set timeframe.

How do flexi hours show up on the team calendar?

When an employee books a flexi day off using their TOIL balance, it appears on the team calendar like any other absence — visible to their manager and team for coverage planning.

Does flexitime management work for remote teams?

Yes. TimeTally works equally well for office-based, remote, and hybrid teams. Employees submit flexi hour accruals and time-off requests from any device — the manager approves from wherever they are.

Can we track core hours vs. flexible hours separately?

TimeTally tracks actual hours against contracted hours. Core hours are part of your contracted hours definition. Extra hours beyond the contract accrue as TOIL/flexi credit at the rate you set in your policy.
