Arcoro offers time off features in Core HR and ExakTime that help you and your employees manage your employee's time off balances, accrual rules, requests, and more. While both modules offer a time off tracking feature, the PTO features of Core HR and ExakTime DO NOT interact with each other currently and are designed to function separately.

If you want to use a time off tracking feature and have both Core HR and ExakTime, it is highly recommended to only use the time off tracking feature from one of the modules. Using only one time off tracking feature of a module will help ensure a consistent experience for all of your employees and limit any unforeseen situations that may arise when trying to use the time off tracking of both Core HR and ExakTime simultaneously.

Similarities & Differences
