Time tracking for assisted living teams

Staff clock in at the front desk at the start of each shift. Time-off requests show who asked for a day off, so you can plan coverage without a group text. Care plans stay in your care system.

From $15/mo billed annually. Starter $15/mo · Growth $25/mo · Scale $49.99/mo.

How an assisted living team uses it

Web Kiosk PIN pad for assisted living staff at the front desk

Clocking in with a PIN at the desk

Staff clock in on a tablet at the desk

The paper sign-in sheet is often the only record of who worked.

Set up a shared tablet at the front desk. Each employee clocks in and out with their own PIN.

Employee schedules for an assisted living week

Who is scheduled for each shift

See who was scheduled and who showed up

The night shift and the day shift don’t always agree about who was there.

Schedules show who was expected on each shift. Clock-ins show who actually came in, and when.

Team calendar of approved time off at an assisted living residence

Who is off this month

Approve time off before a shift comes up short

When someone calls out at 6 a.m., it catches everyone by surprise.

Staff ask for days off ahead of time. Once you approve a request, it shows on the team calendar, so you know about gaps before the shift starts.

Work locations for an assisted living provider with two houses

A work location for each building

Each building has its own tablet

When two houses or buildings share one paper sheet, it gets hard to read and hard to sort out.

Set up each house or building as its own work location, with its own tablet at the desk.

Weekly hours of assisted living staff, including overnight shifts

Shift hours for the week

Overnight shifts count as one shift

A shift that crosses midnight should still count as one person’s hours.

Staff clock in when the shift starts and clock out when it ends. TimeOff Manager records the actual times they worked.

Approved hours, ready for payroll

TimeOff Manager tracks hours. It doesn’t pay anyone. At the end of the pay period, a manager reviews and approves the hours. Then you download them as an Excel or CSV file and send it to whoever runs payroll: your bookkeeper, your accountant, or your payroll software.

  • Hours are approved first

    A manager checks the hours before they go anywhere, so payroll gets real numbers, not guesses from a group text.

  • Overtime is flagged

    Extra hours show up on the timesheet, so you can see overtime before you pay it.

  • Excel or CSV

    One download your bookkeeper or payroll software can open.

  • Payroll happens elsewhere

    TimeOff Manager does not calculate pay, print checks, or file taxes.

A typical day

  1. 1

    Staff clock in

    At the front desk tablet, at the start of the shift.

  2. 2

    Check coverage

    Look at the schedule and approved time off instead of a text thread.

  3. 3

    Approve upcoming requests

    Approve or decline time-off requests before you post next week’s schedule.

  4. 4

    Hours go to payroll

    Download the approved hours and send them to payroll. Care notes stay in your care system.

This is not a care plan or a medication record

TimeOff Manager does not store care plans, medications, or resident charts. It tracks staff shifts and time off, and lets you download approved hours for payroll.

Also see time tracking software, TimeOff Kiosk, PTO software, and pricing.

Approved time off can sync to Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Approved hours can go to QuickBooks Online or FreshBooks.
