FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching

What is leave management software?

Leave management software replaces spreadsheets and email threads with one system that tracks time off requests, approvals, and balances. Time-Out Zone adds a policy engine on top: you define the rules once and the system computes the effective policy, balance, and approval chain for every employee.

How does the PTO tracker handle different policies per location?

Each location carries its own baseline policy and holiday calendar, for example to match statutory minimums per country or state. Departments, teams, tags, or individual assignments override it where needed, and the engine resolves exactly one effective policy per person.

Can employees see their own leave balance?

Yes. Every employee has a self-service dashboard with their current balance, used and planned days, carry-over, and the exact policy that applies to them, including which level of the organization set each rule.

How much does Time-Out Zone cost?

One plan: $4 per user per month, billed annually. Every feature is included: unlimited locations, departments, teams, policies, approval chains, and integrations. Teams of 125+ get a sales conversation instead of checkout.
