Track annual leave and sickness absence for site-based workers across multiple projects. Replace paper records and text messages with a leave management system that works from any phone, on any site.
If any of these sound familiar, it is time to move from paper records to a proper staff holiday tracker.
Leave is tracked in notebooks, on clipboards, or not at all. When workers move between sites, records get lost and nobody knows who has taken what.
With teams spread across different projects, site managers have no visibility of who is off where. Coordinating leave across sites is a headache.
Workers put in long hours during busy periods and are owed time back. But without a system, lieu days are tracked informally and disputes arise.
Staff numbers fluctuate with project demand. Calculating correct entitlements for workers who start and leave mid-year is done on the back of an envelope.
Sick days are reported by phone call to a site manager and never formally logged. Building an accurate absence history is impossible.
Key tradespeople take holiday at the same time because nobody checked the calendar. Project timelines slip and clients are left waiting.
Construction workers are not sat at desks. TimeTally's iOS app lets them submit holiday requests from their phone during a break, and site managers can approve or reject with one tap without leaving the site cabin.
Request leave from anywhere
Workers submit requests via the iOS app — no need to visit the office or fill in a paper form
Approve on the go
Site managers approve or reject with one tap and an optional note — staff know where they stand immediately

Construction teams deal with more than just annual leave. Create unlimited custom leave types in TimeTally — annual leave, sick leave, time off in lieu, unpaid leave, or anything else. Each type gets its own colour on the calendar and optional allowance.
Track sickness absence with a complete history per worker, and use our TOIL tracker guidance to manage time off in lieu from long shifts on site.
Tip for construction firms:Create a “Lieu Days” leave type to track time owed from overtime. Workers can then request time off against this balance, keeping everything transparent and fair.
Everything you need to manage leave across your sites, from request to approval to payroll export.
Workers request leave from their phone on site. No paper forms, no trips to the office. The iOS app works wherever they have a phone signal.
Automatically calculate correct annual leave entitlements for seasonal workers, mid-year starters, and part-time staff. UK statutory rules built in.
Export leave data via CSV, or sync with Xero or QuickBooks. No more re-keying holiday information into your payroll system at month end.
The “Who's Off” widget gives you an instant view of which workers are absent this week. Plan your labour allocation across sites, arrange cover for missing tradespeople, and avoid project delays caused by unexpected absences.
Combined with the annual leave tracker, you get a complete picture of your workforce availability — today, this week, and months ahead.

When workers earn lieu time from long shifts, you record it in TimeTally, and when they take it, they submit a request against that leave type. Everything is tracked in one place.
