Monthly Planning

Plan around peak seasons at a glance

Christmas, Black Friday, and summer peaks put pressure on every logistics team. The monthly calendar view shows you exactly how many staff are already approved off in any given week, so you can make fair and informed decisions when new requests come in.

Whether you run last-mile delivery, long-haul haulage, or a distribution warehouse, seeing the full month ahead means fewer surprises and better cover for your busiest periods.

Tip: Use TimeTally alongside your working hours calculator to track driver hours and ensure leave does not push remaining staff over their contracted limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TimeTally help manage driver leave without leaving routes uncovered?

TimeTally's team calendar gives transport managers a clear view of all driver leave in one place. Before approving a request, you can see exactly which drivers are already off on those dates, making it straightforward to check route coverage before any approval. You can filter by depot or team to focus on the routes that matter.

How do we manage leave during peak periods like Christmas and Black Friday?

TimeTally gives you complete visibility of leave requests across your workforce at any point in the year. During peak periods, managers can easily see how many drivers or warehouse operatives are already approved off, and make consistent decisions about whether additional requests can be accommodated. There is no system-enforced block — that is your call as the manager.

Can TimeTally handle split shifts and non-standard working patterns for logistics staff?

Yes. TimeTally calculates leave in days or hours, which means it handles split shifts and non-standard patterns correctly. Whether your drivers work early starts, night trunking shifts, or variable patterns, their leave entitlement is tracked accurately against their actual contracted hours.

Does TimeTally work for warehouse operatives as well as drivers?

Yes. TimeTally works for any role in your logistics business — drivers, warehouse operatives, loaders, pickers, dispatchers, and office staff. You can organise employees into teams or locations so each manager only sees the people they are responsible for.

Can staff submit leave requests from their cab or warehouse floor?

Yes. TimeTally has an iOS app that lets employees request leave from anywhere. Drivers can submit a request between deliveries, and warehouse staff can request time off from the shop floor. Managers receive a push notification and can approve or reject with one tap.

How does TimeTally calculate holiday pay for drivers paid by the mile or with variable pay?

TimeTally tracks leave entitlement and absence. For holiday pay calculations involving variable pay (which under UK employment law must be based on average earnings over the previous 52 weeks), you would use the leave records from TimeTally alongside your payroll system. TimeTally integrates with Xero and QuickBooks to make this straightforward.
