Balances calculate forever.
Define an accrual policy per leave type — PTO, sick leave, vacation — and CKZ handles the math every pay period. No spreadsheets, no manual tallying, no end-of-year surprises.
- Three accrual methods: per pay period, per hours worked, or fixed annual grant
- Carryover limits and maximum balance caps configurable per policy
- Each employee can be assigned different policies — tenure-based plans supported
- Balances are visible to employees at any time from the web app or mobile app
- Full ledger of every accrual, usage, and adjustment — with timestamps
- Leave balances post automatically when a payroll period is locked
Requests approved.
Balances updated. Done.
Employees submit time off requests from the web app or mobile app — selecting type, dates, and an optional note. Supervisors receive an email notification, review the request, and approve or deny with one click. The balance adjusts automatically on approval.
- Employees select leave type and date range — no paper forms
- Supervisor receives instant email notification with a one-click approve/deny link
- Employee is notified by email when the request is decided
- Approved leave appears on the supervisor's schedule view
- Cancelled requests restore the balance — no manual correction needed
- Full request history in the employee's leave ledger
Leave on your timesheet.
Payroll on time.
When a payroll period is locked, all approved leave for that period is automatically included in the payroll export. PTO, sick, and vacation hours appear as separate line items in the export file — correctly formatted for your payroll provider.
- Leave hours included automatically in every payroll export
- PTO, sick, and vacation reported as separate columns in the export
- Compatible with all 9 payroll provider exports: ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Gusto, and more
- Pay period lock prevents retroactive edits after export
- California daily overtime and weekly overtime rules calculated correctly alongside leave
