Time tracking for maritime crews

Your people clock in at the yard or the dock. Hours and time off cover shore staff and the boat crews you employ. TimeOff Manager does not track vessels.

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

How a maritime business uses it

GPS history of crew clocking in at a maritime dock

Where each person clocked in

Save the dock as a place

A clock-in from the parking lot doesn’t mean they were on the pier.

Save the dock as a work location. You can add a geofence, a boundary around the dock, so clock-ins have to happen there.

Employee list of maritime shore staff and boat crew

Shore staff and crew in one list

Shore staff and boat crews in one account

Relief days and shore leave end up in two different notebooks.

Both groups are employees in the same company account, each with their own time off and hours.

TimeOff Manager Pro clock-in screen for maritime crew at the yard

Clocking in at the yard

GPS saved when they clock in at the yard

You need to know they started at the yard, not where the boat went later.

Their GPS location is saved at the moment they clock in.

Team calendar of relief days off for maritime crew

Relief days on the calendar

Relief days off

A relief day is often just a text message.

Crew members request the day off in the app, and you approve it. Approved days show on the team calendar.

Web Kiosk PIN pad in a maritime office

Clocking in with a PIN

A shared tablet in the office

Not everyone carries a phone onto the dock.

The kiosk turns a shared tablet into a time clock. Each person clocks in with their own PIN.

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

    Clock in at the dock

    You can require them to be at the dock, using GPS, when they clock in.

  2. 2

    Work the shift

    Their hours add up. TimeOff Manager does not track the boat.

  3. 3

    Relief

    The person coming off requests time off, or the next person clocks in.

  4. 4

    Download the hours

    The hours go out as a file.

This is not vessel tracking or crewing software

TimeOff Manager does not track vessels, AIS data, watches, or credentials. It tracks hours and time off for the people you employ, and where they 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.

Common questions from maritime businesses

Does this track the boat?

No. It records people clocking in at a place you saved, such as the yard or the dock.

Can shore staff and crew share one company account?

Yes, as long as both groups are your employees in the app.

Can we require people to be at the dock when they clock in?

Yes. A work location can require GPS and a geofence, which is a boundary that clock-ins have to fall inside.

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.
