Time tracking for local government teams

Office staff request time off in the app, and the field crews you employ clock in on a phone or a shared tablet. TimeOff Manager is not a case management system or a permitting desk.

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

How local government teams use it

Employee schedules for local government crews

Who was expected on each crew

Crew schedules show who should be working

Who was supposed to work the route is written on a whiteboard.

Employee schedules show who was expected. The clock-in shows who actually came 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.

What it doesn’t do

TimeOff Manager is not permitting or case software. It does not store permits, cases, or citizen records, and it does not claim any federal security certification. It tracks staff time off, holidays, clock-ins, 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.

Common questions from local government

Can field crews and office staff share one account?

US and Canadian public holidays. You can hide any day you stay open. Other countries are not included.
