Time off and attendance

Time-off policies for any country, built in

Annual leave, sick leave, and public holidays follow local law from day one, including exceptions such as Norway counting Saturdays as working days. Adjust any policy to fit your own, and set who approves what.

Daniel Hayes requested annual leave from Aug 12 to Aug 22 (8 working days), approved. Balances show 13 of 25 annual leave days, 2 sick leave days taken this year, 90 parental leave days, and 4.5 flex time hours banked.

Hannah Reid books five days of annual leave in Slack; Taito.ai drafts the request and shows her balance after approval; her manager Olivia Hartley approves; the system updates her annual leave balance to 18 of 25 days and writes the five paid days into the August pre-payroll report.

Slack requests

From Slack request to pre-payroll report

No requests left waiting for approval in DMs. No combining CSVs by hand at month-end. The request an employee makes in Slack becomes the line your payroll provider receives.

Requests, approvals, and cancellations happen in Slack, so time-off requests don't move back and forth between DMs, calendars, and an HR portal nobody opens.

Balances accrue automatically for each policy and country, so employees and managers always see the same number.

Your approval policies decide who approves each request, and approved time off is added to the pre-payroll report automatically.

What's included

Country policies, ready from day one

Regional policies with automatic accruals

Ready-made time-off and attendance policies for any country, with public holidays and statutory minimums set up. Balances accrue on their own. Apply a policy to a group and change only what you need.

Self-serve timesheets and overtime

Employees clock in and out from Slack. Timesheets fill in against the working pattern you set for each person, and overtime is reported automatically under a ready-made attendance policy for their country.

Synced with your payroll provider

Connect your payroll provider once. Time off and attendance data stay in sync with it, so the pre-payroll data is ready before every salary run.

Use cases

What stops being done by hand

P / 1

Time off approved in DMs and entered twice

Requests, approvals, and cancellations happen once in Slack. Taito.ai updates the pre-payroll report as soon as the dates are saved.

P / 2

Country policies kept in a Notion doc

The policy for each country is set up in Taito.ai, not in a document. Managers and employees see the same policy and the same balances.

P / 3

Hand-building the payroll CSV at month-end

The payroll integration keeps time off and attendance data in sync with your payroll provider. Nobody builds or sends a file by hand.
