Time tracking for contractors

Run every trade in one app. Your crews clock in at the job, office staff request time off, and on Friday you download one hours file for the bookkeeper.

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

How contractors use it for the crew and the office

Work locations list of contractor jobs

Each job saved as a work location

Save each job as a place

Every trade writes down the day on a different sheet.

Each job is saved as a work location. When someone clocks in, their GPS location is saved.

GPS history of a contractor crew clocking in at a job

Where each person clocked in

Use a geofence when the general contractor wants proof

A clock-in from the parking lot doesn’t prove the crew was in the building.

Turn on a geofence for that job. It is a boundary around the site, and clock-ins have to happen inside it.

Team calendar of time off for a contractor

Who is off, in the office and the field

Office time off on the same calendar

The estimator takes a day off and the crew doesn’t know.

Office staff request time off in the same app. Once it is approved, it shows on the shared team calendar.

Team mileage screen of drives between contractor jobs

Mileage trips from crew leads

Log mileage when a lead drives between jobs

The drive to the afternoon job never shows up anywhere.

Leads log their miles in the same app as their hours, and you approve the trips.

Live staff map of contractor crews on shift

Who is on shift right now

See who is on which job

You call three crew leads just to figure out where everyone is.

The live staff map shows who is on shift right now. GPS history shows where each person clocked in.

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

    The crew clocks in

    Each person clocks in on their phone at the job. Their GPS location is saved.

  2. 2

    Office staff request time off

    Their requests go on the same calendar, not in a separate tool.

  3. 3

    You check the map

    See who is still clocked in. This is separate from the GPS saved at clock-in.

  4. 4

    Friday: download the hours

    Download one file of hours. Bids and job costs stay in your other software.

This is not bids, lien waivers, or job cost tracking

TimeOff Manager does not write bids, track job costs, or produce lien waivers. It tracks employee hours, time off, mileage, and where your crew clocked in.

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.

  • Google Calendar
  • Microsoft Outlook

Common questions from contractors

Can office staff and field crews share one account?

Yes. Office staff use it to request time off. Field crews also clock in at the job. Everyone is an employee in the same company account.

What about subcontractors?

Only people you add as employees can clock in. A subcontractor who isn’t on your team list won’t clock in here.

Can one person work two jobs in a day?

Yes. Save each job as a work location, and they clock in at each one.

From $15/mo billed annually after a 14-day trial. Starter is $15/mo for 1–20 people, Growth is $25/mo for 21–50, and Scale is $49.99/mo for larger teams.
