How a PR team uses it

Team time off list for a PR team

Every request and its status

One shared time-off calendar

Two people book time off during the same busy client week.

Approved time off shows on one calendar, so everyone can see who is out.

TimeOff Manager Pro leave screen for a PR team member

Requesting a day off from the phone

Approve requests in one list

A day off gets asked for in a chat message, where it is easy to miss.

Each request waits in one approval list until a manager approves or declines it.

Your whole team in one list

Priced for a small team

Your firm is only a handful of people, and the price should match.

The Starter plan is $15/mo billed annually for 1–20 people.

TimeOff Manager Pro clock-in screen for PR front desk staff

Clocking in from the phone

Hourly studio or front desk staff can clock in

Hours for studio or front desk staff are often just a note.

They can clock in and out on their phone, so their hours are recorded.

Days off taken and left

A day off is not a work-from-home day

A day off and a day working from home are different things, but they often get mixed up.

Time off is a request that a manager approves. Clocking in is optional, if you track hours.

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.

One person’s week

A typical week

  1. 1

    Someone asks for a day off

    They request it in the app.

  2. 2

    A manager approves it

    In the approval list, not by scrolling back through chat.

  3. 3

    The calendar updates

    The whole office can see the week.

  4. 4

    Hours go to payroll

    Only if you also track hours. Download the approved hours as a file.

What it doesn’t do

TimeOff Manager is not PR software. It does not store media lists, pitches, or press clippings. It tracks time off, hours if you want them, 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.
