The part-time leave problem

Managing leave for mixed workforces is disproportionately complex. TimeTally removes the manual work.

Manual pro-rata errors

Spreadsheet calculations are error-prone and time-consuming. One wrong formula means under- or over-paying leave for the entire year.

Non-working day confusion

Part-timers shouldn't be charged leave on days they don't work. Without pattern-aware software, managers have to manually check every request.

Mixed contract types

Tracking full-time, part-time, and zero-hours employees in the same system with different rules is a compliance headache on spreadsheets.

Part-time aware leave requests

When a part-time employee books leave, TimeTally only charges working days — automatically. Bank holidays are handled correctly for each working pattern, so part-timers who don't work Mondays aren't disadvantaged. The request form shows the current balance, days to be deducted, and remaining entitlement in real time.

  • Only charges contracted working days

    No leave deducted for days the employee doesn't work — no manual override needed

  • Real-time balance shown before submitting

    Employees see how many days the request will use and what will remain — no surprises

  • Manager sees the working pattern in approval

    Full context in the approval view — pattern, balance, and deduction — before tapping approve

The team calendar shows approved leave across all contract types. Managers can spot coverage gaps before they become a problem — no matter how many different working patterns are in the team. Where employees earn TOIL or flexitime, those balances are tracked alongside holiday entitlement in the same view.

Part-time leave management FAQs

How does TimeTally calculate leave for part-time employees?

TimeTally pro-rates holiday entitlement based on each employee's contracted hours and working pattern. A part-time employee working 3 days a week automatically gets 60% of the full-time statutory allowance, calculated precisely from their start date.

Can different employees have different working patterns?

Yes. Each employee profile has its own working pattern — days of the week and hours per day. TimeTally uses this to calculate correct entitlements, prevent booking on non-working days, and accurately deduct leave in hours or days.

Does TimeTally handle employees with irregular hours?

For zero-hours and variable-hours workers, TimeTally supports accrual-based leave calculation based on hours actually worked. This ensures compliance with UK Working Time Regulations for all contract types.

Can employees on different contracts see each other's leave?

Managers see a team calendar showing all approved leave across contract types. Employees can optionally see team availability — useful for shift planning without exposing sensitive entitlement details.

How much does part-time leave management cost?

TimeTally costs £2 per employee per month with all features included — full and part-time employees are priced the same. There's no extra charge for pro-rata calculations or multiple contract types.
