Time tracking for event teams

Your crew clocks in on their phones at the venue. Office staff request time off in the same account. TimeOff Manager does not build your run-of-show.

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

How an event team uses it

Work locations for an event team

The venue saved as a work location

Save the venue as a work location

Load-in has started at the venue, but the office still thinks the crew is at the shop.

Save the venue in TimeOff Manager. When the crew clocks in on their phones, their GPS location is saved.

TimeOff Manager Pro live staff map for an event crew

Who is on site, on the phone

See who is on site right now

Without it, you have to count heads over the radio.

The live staff map shows everyone who is clocked in right now. This live view is separate from the GPS location saved when they clocked in.

Team time off list for an event team

Every request and its status

Office time off on the same calendar

When the producer takes a show day off, the crew can find out too late.

The producer requests that day in the app. Once it is approved, it shows on the team calendar.

My Mileage screen for an event crew member

Miles driven to the venue

Log miles driven to the venue

Time spent driving the truck to the venue often goes unrecorded.

Crew members log their mileage trips in the same account as their hours.

Employee list for an event team

Your crew, including seasonal staff

Seasonal staff who are your employees

Seasonal workers can only clock in here if they are your employees.

Add them to your employee list, and they can clock in like everyone else.

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 show day

  1. 1

    The crew clocks in at load-in

    At the venue, on their phones.

  2. 2

    You check who is still working

    During the day, the live map shows who is still clocked in.

  3. 3

    The crew clocks out after strike

    When the show is taken down, they clock out. The office can already see who asked for tomorrow off.

  4. 4

    Hours go to payroll

    Download the approved hours as a file. Vendor payments are handled outside TimeOff Manager.

What it doesn’t do

TimeOff Manager is not event production software. It does not build a rundown, cue a show, or pay vendors. It tracks who clocked in at the venue, their time off, and the hours you download 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.

  • Google Calendar
  • Microsoft Outlook
  • FreshBooks
  • QuickBooks

You can also ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor questions about your account, like who is out next week, through Model Context Protocol.

Common questions from event teams

Can the venue and the office be different places?

Yes. The venue is one work location, and the office can be another. Office staff can also use TimeOff Manager only for time off.

What about seasonal event staff?

Add them if they are your employees. People who are not on your employee list don’t clock in here.

Does it track miles to the venue?

Yes. Mileage is logged in the same account as hours.

How much does it cost?

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.
