Manual PTO tracking feels simple on the surface: a few emails, a spreadsheet, maybe a note written on the side of a timesheet. But missed entries, unclear requests, and inconsistent approvals all create compliance risks that only show up when payroll is due or when an employee leaves.
Even teams with good intentions struggle to stay consistent.
Managers forget to log approvals, employees assume time off requests are approved, and no one knows who’s responsible for tracking balances. Most companies don’t realize how exposed they are until an error turns into a dispute.
Manual processes leave too many opportunities for mistakes. Timeero takes the guesswork out of PTO by automating requests, approvals, and accruals, giving you clear records you can rely on.
Employees request time off directly in the app, and managers can approve or deny the request from anywhere. No more digging through emails or trying to remember verbal approvals.
Timeero keeps running totals of accruals and available PTO in real time. Everyone sees the same numbers, and payroll always matches.
Every request, approval, and change is time-stamped and stored automatically. If you ever need to show PTO history for a dispute or termination payout, your records are organized and complete.
You don’t have to chase down missing notes or reconcile inconsistent spreadsheets. Timeero centralizes everything, reducing errors and saving hours each pay period.
Employees know exactly how much PTO they’ve earned and how to request it. Managers follow the same process every time. It keeps everyone aligned and builds trust.
Once PTO is automated, stress drops for both HR and employees. You get cleaner payroll runs, fewer disputes, and a process that actually supports compliance rather than risking it.
You don’t have to keep patching together PTO records or hoping nothing slips through the cracks. With Timeero, PTO management becomes one less thing to worry about.
