Time tracking for electrical crews

Your electricians clock in on their phone at the house, the panel, or the tenant build-out. Their time off and the miles they drive between calls are tracked in the same account.

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

How an electrical contractor uses it

Work locations list of service addresses for an electrical contractor

Service addresses saved as work locations

Save the service address as a work location

The office only knows the electrician left the shop. It doesn’t know when they got to the job.

Save the job address in TimeOff Manager. You can require the clock-in to have GPS at that address.

GPS history of clock-ins so an electrical contractor can see the clock-in was at the job, separate from the live staff map

Where each clock-in happened

The GPS location is saved with every clock-in

A customer says nobody showed up.

Each clock-in saves the GPS location. Later, you can open that clock-in in GPS history and see where it happened.

An extra call comes in, and you have to guess who can take it.

The live staff map shows who is clocked in right now, for people who agreed to share their location. It is a different screen from the GPS saved at clock-in.

Drive time turns into an argument on Friday.

Electricians log each trip in the same account as their timesheet.

Manage Requests list with an apprentice electrician’s time-off request

Time-off requests waiting for approval

Apprentices request time off in the app

An apprentice asks for time off by texting the journeyman, instead of filling out a paper slip.

The apprentice requests time off in the app, and a manager approves it in the same account.

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 electrician arrives

    The electrician opens the app at the house or the electrical room.

  2. 2

    They clock in

    The clock-in saves the GPS location. If the work location has a geofence, they have to be inside it to clock in.

  3. 3

    The office checks the live map

    During the shift, the office checks the live staff map to see who is still out. The GPS from the clock-in stays on the time record.

  4. 4

    Friday: download the hours

    Download the hours and mileage as a file. Pay is handled in your payroll software.

It doesn’t send out jobs or write estimates

TimeOff Manager does not assign the next call, write quotes, or track wire and devices. It records clock-ins, drives, and time off.

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.

Common questions from electrical contractors

Can electricians clock in at the house instead of the shop?

Yes. Add the service address or the job site as a work location. The GPS location is saved with the clock-in.

Can I see where they clocked in if a customer disputes it?

Yes. GPS history keeps the location of every clock-in. The live staff map only shows people who are on shift right now.

Does it send electricians to the next call?

No. It does not dispatch calls. It records when they clocked in and where.

What does a 12-person shop pay?

Starter is $15/mo billed annually for up to 20 people, after a 14-day trial.
