Let’s be honest, dealing with employee holidays and sick leave using spreadsheets, email threads, and post-it notes is a real productivity killer. But what if your employee schedule management software could handle it all for you, effortlessly?

That’s where Timemarker’s latest Time Off update comes in. It’s a powerful upgrade to your favourite timesheet software that makes holiday tracking easier, smarter, and actually stress-free.

Here’s why it’s the new gold standard in time tracking and employee software management:

 

Time Off Requests That Practically Manage Themselves

Whether someone’s planning a sunny vacation or calling in sick, Timemarker makes requesting time off a breeze. 

• Employees can request holidays and sick leave right from their account.

• Admins can submit time off for any team member, which is great for small businesses. 

No more endless back-and-forth. No more confusion.

 

Fully Integrated With Your Timesheets

It’s not just about tracking leave, it’s smart timesheet software.

Once the request has been approved, Timemarker automatically adds the absence to the timesheet, calculates the right hours based on that employee’s schedule, and locks the entry to stop anyone from making sneaky edits (you can’t just add a half-day as a full-day!).

Imagine a tiny robot HR assistant that’s all business, no awkward chats.

 

Built for Real Work Schedules

Do you have any part-time employees, flexible contractors, or a team member who switches between roles? With Timemarker, you can:

• Assign custom working days per date range (which is great for flexibility!)

• Set hours even for staff with zero required weekly hours

• Automatically update time off bookings when schedules change

This is the kind of intuitive real-world employee tracking software we should be seeing in the workplace.

 

Tailored Time-Off Entitlements

As not all employees get the same benefits, it’s possible to assign custom entitlements for holiday, sickness, and other types of leave, either by employee or by year. And yes, you can offer unlimited sick leave if it’s needed.

This level of customisation makes Timemarker a top pick for modern time management software.

 

Total Control Over Editing

If plans change, employees can delete future requests, but past leave needs their manager’s approval to make sure the HR and payroll teams have all of the info they need.

 

Approvals That Just Flow

Need someone to approve leave?

You can set multiple approvers/ admins per person and keep everyone in the loop with:

• Email notifications

• Rejection notes with full transparency 

Rejected time off is even removed from the timesheet, resetting its status. That’s next-level timesheet reporting control.

 

Smart Public Holidays by Location

Do you manage a team spread across different regions? Timemarker lets you assign specific public holidays for different locations, so your team in Scotland don’t have to be stuck working while your team in England is enjoying a bank holiday. 

 

Dashboards & Reports You’ll Actually Use

The Time Off dashboard shows upcoming absences from over the next 30 days, which is great for planning team resources. 

Need data? Timemarker’s got three awesome timesheet reporting tools:

• Annual entitlement summaries

• Time-Off logs

• A visual Time-Off calendar chart

Every employee can run their own reports. Managers and admins can get reports for the whole team. Insight, meet efficiency.

 

Why It Matters

In a world where being flexible is really important and time is money, your staff schedule management software needs to do more than just track hours, it should simplify everything.

This new Time-Off feature is going to make Timemarker an all-in-one time tracking and leave management solution, built for the real pace of modern teams.
