Techs forget to clock in, overtime sneaks up and time off lives in texts. Here's how to get clean hours from the bay floor with a shared kiosk.

A practical 2027 holiday calendar for US and Canadian teams — observed federal dates, provincial caveats, and how to preload the year in TimeOff Manager before January.

PTO requests by text and email get lost. Here's what a good time off request flow looks like, from the employee's ask to the manager's answer to payroll.

Vacation and sick alone rarely match a real handbook. With custom leave types enabled, company admins manage Personal, Unpaid, Bereavement, and more at /admin/leave-types—names, codes, colors, and order that employees pick when they request time off.

Owners who run multiple brands need isolated data—not one shared spreadsheet. TimeOff Manager Multi-Company Support gives each organization its own workspace with Company Settings, custom policies, roster, and clocks. Register additional companies as needed.
David Dayan
Managers send one-way staff announcements at /messages — pick team or company, compose, send. Staff open the note and tap Got it to acknowledge. Same inbox in TimeOff Manager Pro with optional push. Not a chat; not Approval Center; not Work Activities.
David Dayan
Company admins enable optional job codes at /admin/work-activities (Settings → Work Activities) so staff can split a shift and switch activity mid-shift on kiosk, web, or app—for billable vs non-billable cost allocation. Not the live map; not a leave type.
David Dayan
Managers and HR clear leave, missed clock-ins, mileage, and day notes in one dashboard inbox at /dashboard#approval-center—tabs filter by type; approve or reject in place. Same mixed queue in TimeOff Manager Pro (More → Approvals). Pure employees use My requests / My pending.
David Dayan
Employees submit missing, wrong, or forgotten clock-ins via Forgot to clock in. Managers approve or edit times in the Approval Center—approved requests become completed time entries (60-day window). Also in the app and kiosk PIN.
David Dayan
TimeOff Manager Pro gives managers live insight into their people: who is inbound ~30 minutes before a shift, who is on site, and who clocked in—until they clock out. Pair that with GPS clock-in geofencing. Full payroll and AP/AR coming soon at the same pricing.
