Time off that actually balances.
Accruals, carryover, approval chains, and regional holiday calendars — kept in lockstep with payroll.
The problem
PTO balances drift the moment you stop watching.
When time off lives in one system and payroll runs in another, balances never quite match. Employees lose trust, managers approve blind, and finance ends the year with surprise liabilities.
Accrual rules coded into a single fragile spreadsheet
Approval chains break when a manager goes on leave
Regional holidays missed for international hires
PTO liability on the balance sheet is always an estimate
Flexible accrual policies
Tenure-based, role-based, or hours-worked accruals with caps, carryover, and waiting periods — modeled exactly to your handbook.
Approval chains
Multi-step approvals with auto-delegation when an approver is themselves out. Slack and email notifications built in.
Regional calendars
Country and state holiday calendars maintained for you. Employees see exactly what's a working day in their region.
Payroll-synced balances
Balances and payouts reconcile bi-directionally with your payroll provider — so the number in Tallo matches the number on the paystub.
How it works
Three steps to a single source of truth.
Model your handbook
Translate your real PTO, sick, parental, and unlimited policies into accrual rules — including caps, carryover, and regional variations.
Plug in the calendars
Pre-loaded country and state holiday calendars assign automatically by employee location. Bank holidays and floating days handled.
Sync to payroll continuously
Balances, accruals, and payouts reconcile with your payroll provider every cycle — so paystubs and HRIS always match.
Where balances live
Every PTO event in lockstep across systems.
Balances sync to your payroll provider so paystubs match. Requests notify managers where they already work. Calendars surface where teams plan.

Common questions
What teams ask before they switch.
- Can we model unlimited PTO?
- Yes — including visibility caps, manager review thresholds, and minimum-use prompts so unlimited doesn't quietly become zero.
- What about state-mandated sick leave?
- Tallo ships with pre-built policies for state-mandated sick accrual (California, New York, Colorado, and more) and updates them as laws change.
- How are international holidays handled?
- Holiday calendars are maintained per country and region. Employees see exactly which days are work days based on their location, not headquarters'.
- Can we delegate approvals when a manager is out?
- Yes. Delegation chains kick in automatically when a manager's OOO is approved, so requests don't sit in an empty inbox.
Trustworthy balances. Boring close.
When time off and payroll reconcile automatically, finance closes the books faster and employees stop opening tickets about their balance.
