What TimeLeaf is
TimeLeaf is web software for managing time off, timesheets, overtime, and scheduling across mixed desk-and-shift teams. Leave policies can vary by team, country, and employment type, with accruals, rollovers, blackout periods, and approval workflows. Professional and higher plans add chat or web clock-in, manager-approved weekly timesheets, overtime detection, and a time bank. Shift scheduling includes role qualifications and coverage warnings, while job-site check-ins use GPS and geofence warnings. Integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Google and Outlook calendars, QuickBooks Online, and Xero. TimeLeaf exports payroll files but does not run payroll; direct Xero payroll synchronization is limited to Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Security features include encryption, SSO, MFA, role-based access, monitoring, and isolated tenant environments. Support is by email, with a stated one-business-day reply aim.
