Pick a role and jump into Acme Inc., a fully loaded sample company — 52 employees, real schedules, payroll history, and mileage receipts. No trial signup, no credit card.

Get instant access

Tell us your name and email and we’ll sign you in — takes about ten seconds. Once you’re inside, you can switch between the administrator and employee views from the top menu.

How do you want to explore? *

Employee Clock in and out, request time off, and log mileage — what your staff would see every day. Company administrator Everything an owner sees — approvals, schedules, payroll, reports, and company settings.

Company (optional)

It’s a shared sample company, so skip real SSNs, banking details, or anything confidential. We keep what you submit so we know who’s trying the demo.

Heads up: the sandbox resets once daily at 03:00 (America/Toronto, EDT) — nothing you do here is saved. Next reset: Sep 2, 2026 at 3:00 AM EDT.

After you’re in

As an employee — clock in, request time off, and log mileage with receipts.
As an administrator — approve requests, build schedules, run payroll, and explore settings.
Switch roles anytime — a switcher in the top menu flips between the admin and employee views, no second login needed.

Good to know

Email already used? — If your email is on a full TimeOff Manager account, use a different address for the sandbox. Already in the demo? Just re-enter with the same role, or use the in-app role switcher.
Something disappeared? — The sandbox rebuilds on its schedule, so demo users and changes are cleared on each reset.
Ready for your own company? — Start a 14-day free trial and your data is yours, permanently.
