How a church office uses it

Manage Requests list for paid church staff

Requests waiting for approval

Time off for paid staff

A staff member’s day off often gets announced from the front on Sunday instead of written down.

Paid staff request time off in TimeOff Manager. A manager sees how many days they have left, then approves or declines. Approved days show on the team calendar.

Web Kiosk PIN pad for paid church staff at the office

Clocking in with a PIN at the office

Hourly staff clock in at the office

The custodian and the office staff often write their hours in one shared notebook.

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

Pastors don’t have to clock in

Pastoral staff and hourly staff don’t need to use it the same way.

You choose who clocks in. Pastors can use TimeOff Manager just for time off, while hourly staff also clock in and out.

Priced for a small staff

Many church offices have only a few paid staff.

The Starter plan covers 1–20 people for $15/mo billed annually.

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.
