Paid time off tracking software for small US employers

Every small employer that grants paid time off ends up keeping it somewhere, and for most that somewhere is a spreadsheet only one person understands.

  • A small US employer with ten to a hundred people on a paid time off policy, keeping accruals, requests and balances, and tired of a spreadsheet only one person understands
  • Not a UK or Australian employer on statutory annual leave, not an employee asking about their own PTO rights, not a business tracking hours worked, and not a company shopping for a full HR suite

One room for every hour of paid time off you owe

The balance
Every employee's balance, accrued and current, without anyone rebuilding it Accrual runs off the hours your policy grants and the pay periods you run. Carry-in is held separately, time taken comes off, and time already approved for a future date is held back so nobody books the same hours twice.
The request
Every request against the person, with who approved it and when A request is raised against an employee, approved or declined by a named manager, and the balance moves on its own. The history stays, so a disagreement six months later has an answer rather than two memories.
The year end
What carries over, what expires, and what it was worth Your carryover cap is applied at the year boundary and what falls above it is shown before it disappears, not after. The team view prices the unused hours so the number reaches whoever signs off the policy.

The tools, free and open

PTOroom is two free worksheets and one paid record for the US employer with ten to a hundred people on a PTO policy. The first worksheet accrues an employee's hours by pay period, adds what carried in, takes off what has been used and what is already approved, and gives the balance they can actually book against today.

The second prices the policy across the whole team: what it grants, what goes unused and what those unused hours are worth. Both compute in the page with no account and no trial clock.

Free to use. No account, no card, no sign-up.

Should you just buy an HR suite instead?

If you need payroll, benefits enrollment, onboarding, performance reviews and an org chart in one place, buy an HR suite and do not read on. PTOroom is for the employer who has payroll handled and needs one thing kept properly: who is owed how much paid time off, who has booked it, and what is left. It is priced and scoped for that and nothing else.

PTOroom Pro

$20

per month, whole team

The balance is worked out. Keeping it is PTOroom Pro.

  • Download the balance sheet as a file you can send to a manager
  • Hand it over without the PTOroom watermark across it
  • Come back to this employee's sheet with the figures still in it
  • Put your own logo on the sheets your managers and staff see
  • Send an employee their balance and their approval without leaving the record
  • Not used by PTOroom: nothing here takes a payment from your staff
  • Push accrued time off value across to the books at year end

Free for 14 days. No card needed.
