Getting leave entitlement wrong can lead to employment tribunal claims and HMRC penalties. TimeTally handles the complexity so you don't have to.
All UK workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year. For someone working 5 days a week, that's 28 days (which can include bank holidays). Part-time workers get the same 5.6 weeks, pro-rated to their hours.
The statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks equates to 28 days for a 5-day-per-week employee. This can include bank holidays.
A 3-day-per-week employee gets 16.8 days, not 28. TimeTally calculates this automatically based on each employee's working pattern.
Set the working pattern once and TimeTally handles the rest — including mid-year starters and leavers.

Whether you run a restaurant, a care home, or a consultancy, TimeTally adapts to how your business manages leave.
Dedicated leave tracking tools handle time off well, but if you also track hours worked, you need a second tool. Two systems, two logins, two bills. TimeTally gives you both timesheets and leave tracking for £2/employee. See how we compare in our comparison matrix.
Not every business allocates leave the same way. TimeTally supports three accrual methods so you can match how your company actually works.
Full entitlement available from day one of the leave year. The most common approach for full-time, permanent staff.
Leave builds up each month (e.g. 2.33 days/month). Ideal for new starters, probation periods, or businesses that prefer gradual accrual.
Entitlement accrues for each day worked — perfect for zero-hours contracts, casual workers, and the 12.07% method required since April 2024.

Leave tracking software is a digital system that records and manages every type of employee time off — annual leave, sick leave, maternity, paternity, TOIL, and more. It replaces spreadsheets and paper forms with online requests, automated approval workflows, real-time balance tracking, and a team calendar. Good leave tracking software also handles UK statutory entitlement calculations automatically.
TimeTally is purpose-built for UK businesses. Unlike generic leave trackers, it automatically handles UK statutory entitlement (5.6 weeks), pro-rata calculations for part-time workers, bank holidays for England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and the 12.07% accrual method for irregular-hours workers. It also includes timesheet tracking at no extra cost, so you don't need two separate systems.
TimeTally costs just £2 per employee per month with no setup fees or hidden costs. This includes leave tracking, timesheet tracking, team calendars, and custom leave types. Many standalone leave trackers charge similar amounts but don't include timesheets. There's a free 14-day trial with no credit card required.
Yes. TimeTally supports unlimited custom leave types including annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, compassionate leave, TOIL (time off in lieu), unpaid leave, study leave, and any other category you need. Each type can have its own colour, icon, and individual allowance per employee.
Absolutely. TimeTally automatically calculates the statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks (28 days for full-time workers). It handles pro-rata entitlement for part-time employees, mid-year starters, and leavers. It also supports the 12.07% accrual method for irregular-hours and part-year workers introduced in April 2024.
Yes. TimeTally has a native iOS app and a fully responsive web app. Employees can request leave, check their balance, and view who else is off — all from their phone. Managers receive instant notifications and can approve or reject requests with one tap.
TimeTally automatically pro-rates holiday entitlement based on each employee's working pattern. For example, a 3-day-a-week worker gets 16.8 days instead of 28. For irregular-hours and zero-hours workers, it uses the 12.07% accrual method as required by UK law since April 2024. Try our free zero-hours holiday calculator to see how this works, or read about the Employment Rights Act 2026 changes affecting irregular workers.
They are largely the same thing. Leave tracking software focuses on recording who is off and when, while leave management software is a broader term that includes approval workflows, policy enforcement, and compliance. TimeTally does both — it tracks all leave types and manages the entire request-to-approval process in one system.
You won't need to — TimeTally includes both leave tracking and timesheet tracking in one system for one price. This means employees log hours and request leave in the same app, and managers approve everything from a single dashboard. No more juggling two separate tools.
