Intervals doesn’t do accruals but if you need to track total time it can definitely do that. Vacation, PTO, paid leave, and sick leave can be tracked in Intervals by utilizing a “Time Off” project. Unless you need modules we recommend creating one “general” module for this project. That way, when time is added and […]
