Time worked and time off, tracked against the same calendar payroll actually uses.
Leave tracked in a spreadsheet and attendance tracked in a separate time clock almost never agree with what payroll actually processes, which is how PTO disputes happen. TrackElan validates leave requests against live accrual balances at the point of request, and attendance data feeds directly into both payroll and project time records.
Managers approve leave against a real balance instead of a number someone updates monthly, and employees can see their own accrual in real time instead of asking HR.
Stop PTO balance disputes with a live, single-source accrual balance
Feed payroll and project time from the same attendance data — no reconciliation
Give managers a team calendar instead of an email approval chain
Cut HR administrative time spent manually updating leave spreadsheets
