Time off starts with the balance. Jordan opens My leave and sees exactly what he has: sick time and vacation, each with the hours available.

Tap why, and it explains where the hours came from, so there are no surprises and no back-and-forth.

To ask for a day off, he picks the kind of leave and the dates. He sees the total and his balance before he sends anything, then reviews the request and sends it.

On your side, the request lands in your Time off list, with the dates and the hours.

Open it, add a note, and approve.

Jordan sees the answer in his app, along with your note.

Every kind of time off, set up your way

Sick, vacation, one PTO bank, bereavement, other paid and unpaid leave. Start from a ready-made policy and see a worked example before you save.

Accruals, caps and carryover

Time off can be earned from hours worked, each pay period or up front, with caps and carryover rules you choose.

Balances that explain themselves

Tap any balance to see how it was earned and used, in plain English. Fewer questions about why a number looks the way it does.

Requests from the employee’s phone

Employees request time off and see their balance first. You approve or deny with a note, and either side can cancel.

Frequently asked questions

How does PTO accrue?

You choose: from hours worked, each pay period or a set amount up front, with caps and carryover rules if you want them.

Can I track sick time and vacation separately?

Yes. Set up separate sick and vacation policies, or one PTO bank, plus bereavement, other paid and unpaid leave.

Can employees see their own balance?

Yes. Employees see their balances in their app, and can tap a balance to see how it was earned and used.

Can I bring in balances from before?

Yes. Enter starting balances during setup, and the setup checklist reminds you if any are missing.

Does approved time off show up in the payroll export?

Yes. Approved time off goes into the payroll-ready hours file with worked hours and overtime.
