Deadline: September 15, 2026. Create your TimeOff Manager workspace before then and it stays free forever — PTO, GPS time clocks, mileage, schedules, and payroll-ready exports included. No per-seat tax as you grow.

Why this offer exists

We want real teams using the product and telling us what breaks. Sign up before the deadline, invite your people, and keep the account free for life. After September 15, 2026, new workspaces use the standard plan ($9/month unlimited, 14-day trial). Accounts created under the launch offer stay free.

What you get in one login (not three tools)

Most SMBs stitch together a leave spreadsheet, a separate clock-in app, and email for approvals. TimeOff Manager replaces that patchwork:

  • PTO & leave — requests, balances, custom leave types, manager approvals
  • Time tracking — mobile clock in/out, shared kiosk, optional GPS / geofencing
  • Mileage — trips, rates, approvals, exports finance already expects
  • Schedules & overtime — templates, timesheets, overtime rules
  • Payroll prep — Excel/CSV exports; QuickBooks Online & FreshBooks sync where connected

PTO that doesn't live in a spreadsheet

Employees request vacation, sick, or custom leave from phone or desktop. Managers approve in one click. Balances and accruals update live so you are not reconciling a shared Google Sheet every Friday.

Clock in with GPS or a shared kiosk

Field and floor teams need punches you can trust. Use personal phones with GPS validation, or turn a tablet into a PIN kiosk. Optional selfie capture helps stop buddy punching. Approved hours flow into the same timesheets and exports payroll already uses.

Mileage + roster + reports without another vendor

Log trips with maps and receipts, keep the employee roster clean, and hand accountants Master Employee, PTO usage, and payroll-ready files — same product, same login.

Built for US & Canada teams

Onboarding guidance includes statutory PTO minimum recommendations for US states and Canadian provinces. You still own your final policies; the wizard stops you from starting from a blank (and wrong) template.

How to claim free forever (takes minutes)

  1. Go to timeoffmanager.us/register/company
  2. Create the company workspace with your work email — no credit card for the launch offer
  3. Run the setup wizard, invite employees, and approve your first leave or timesheet
  4. Optional: open the live demo first if you want to click around a 52-person sample company

Must create the workspace by September 15, 2026 for the free-forever lock. Waiting means the standard paid plan for new accounts after that date.

Who this is for

  • Ops and HR tired of spreadsheet PTO and “who’s off today?” Slack threads
  • Shops, clinics, field crews, and hybrid teams that need a real clock + leave in one place
  • Finance folks who want exports that match what employees actually worked
