Does TimeTally handle UK holiday entitlement correctly?

Yes. TimeTally is built specifically for UK businesses. Statutory 5.6 weeks entitlement, bank holidays, pro-rata calculations for part-timers, and mid-year starter adjustments are all handled automatically. Use our holiday calculator to check entitlements.

Can I track sick leave and other absence types?
