How a painting company uses it
Clocking in at the job
Painters clock in at the job
If a painter clocks in at the shop in the morning, you can’t see that they spent the afternoon at a house across town.
Save each job address as a work location. When a painter clocks in there, TimeOff Manager saves their GPS location.
Houses and commercial jobs as work locations
Home jobs and commercial jobs in one account
Residential work and commercial work often end up tracked in two different notebooks.
Both kinds of jobs are saved as work locations in the same company account, so all your crews are on one list.
Shop and job hours on the timesheet
Shop time counts too
The hour a painter spends at the shop mixing paint or loading the truck often goes unrecorded.
Save the shop as its own work location. Painters clock in there, and that time shows on their timesheet.
Each drive between jobs
Miles between houses
Three stops in one day turn into one guessed mileage number at the end of the week.
Painters log each drive in the app, next to their hours.
Who is clocked in right now
See who is still on a job
To find out whether a crew is still working, you have to call the crew lead.
The live staff map shows everyone who is clocked in right now. It is a different screen from the GPS location saved at clock-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.

Hours go to the bookkeeper
Download the approved hours and send them over. Estimates stay in your other tools.
This is not estimating or color schedule software
TimeOff Manager does not write estimates, plan color schedules, or track paint. It tracks who clocked in and where, the miles they drove, 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.
You can also ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor questions about your account, like who is out next week, through Model Context Protocol.

Yes. Save each address as a work location.
