Timemarker’s Time Off Feature

Smarter leave tracking, built into your timesheet software

Let’s be honest—managing holidays and sick leave through spreadsheets, email chains, and sticky notes is a productivity killer. But what if your time tracking software could take care of it all for you, seamlessly?

Timemarker’s Time Off feature transforms the way small teams manage leave. It’s a powerful upgrade to our UK-based timesheet software that makes holiday tracking easier.

Here’s why it’s the new gold standard in staff scheduling and leave management software:

Time off requests that practically manage themselves

From summer holidays to sick days, Timemarker makes requesting leave quick and simple.

  • Employees can request time off directly from their own accounts
  • Admins can submit requests on behalf of any team member
  • Say goodbye to back-and-forth emails and confusion

Fully integrated with your timesheets

This isn’t a bolt-on. It’s built into the core of Timemarker.

Once approved, leave is automatically added to the timesheet, the correct number of hours is calculated based on each person’s working pattern, and the entry is locked to prevent changes.

No more manual edits. No risk of mistakes. Just smart, automated tracking.

Built for real schedules and flexible teams

Agencies, consultancies, and small professional teams aren’t all 9 to 5. That’s why we’ve made Time Off work for real-world setups.

  • Set custom working days per person or contract period
  • Book time off even for staff with no set weekly hours
  • Automatically adjust bookings when schedules change

Custom leave entitlements

Different team members, different benefits. No problem.

  • Assign custom allowances for holidays, sick days, or other leave types
  • Update entitlements by employee or year
  • Support flexible policies, including unlimited leave if needed

It’s staff leave tracking software that adapts to your business—not the other way around.

Controlled editing that keeps everyone aligned

Employees can cancel upcoming leave. Past time off? That needs manager approval—keeping HR, payroll, and finance teams in sync.

Simple, flexible approvals

Need manager or HR approval before leave is confirmed? Timemarker has it covered.

  • Assign multiple approvers per employee
  • Get instant email notifications for requests
  • Add rejection notes with full transparency
  • Rejected requests are removed from timesheets automatically

Smart public holidays by region

Managing teams across different locations? Timemarker lets you assign public holidays by region, so your Scotland team doesn’t miss out while England takes a bank holiday.

Dashboards & reports that keep you ahead

Plan smarter with a dashboard showing all upcoming absences. Drill into the data with:

  • Annual leave summaries
  • Detailed Time Off logs
  • Visual calendar charts for quick planning

Employees can run their own reports. Managers and admins get full team visibility.

Why it matters

In fast-moving teams, flexibility is essential—and your employee scheduling software should support that.

Timemarker’s Time Off feature combines time tracking and leave management into one intuitive system designed for small teams, creative agencies, consultancies, and professional service firms.

Ditch the spreadsheets.

Eliminate chaos.

Manage leave and track time in one place.
