Contact supportHow to use this library
Paths on each card (e.g. /timesheet) match the URL in your browser — paste or navigate there after signing in.
Access depends on your role; if a screen isn’t in your menu, ask your company admin or contact support.
Practice: the demo login uses a sandbox tenant with predictable training data.
Getting started
First-time company setup wizard, then your dashboard and everyday navigation.
Setup wizard
Guided 4-step onboarding for admins: turn on modules (time tracking, mileage, etc.), set how PTO is measured, optional GPS default for clock-ins (live-shift map is later, under Clock rules), then finish setup.
Dashboard overview
Home after login: clock, balances, Approval Center for managers, and Me shortcuts (pending, schedule, holidays, stubs, messages).
Apps
Two mobile apps: TimeOff Manager (signed-in employee/manager phone) and TimeOff Kiosk (PIN on a shared tablet). Same Acme company, different jobs.
My work
Everyday employee screens: my pending items, messages, pay stubs, plus personal schedule and holidays.
My pending
Your own items waiting on someone else (or still open): leave, missed punches, mileage, and day notes at /my-pending.
Staff messages
One-way announcements from managers at /messages — open a note and acknowledge. Not a chat, and not the public support widget.
Report a bug
File a product ticket at /report-a-bug (web), More in TimeOff Manager, or the PIN kiosk. Handled within 24 hours, usually within an hour. Not a company helpdesk.
Pay stubs
Your published pay stubs and year-to-date totals at /pay-stubs when compensation & payroll is enabled. PDF download after a run is marked paid.
Leave
Request time off, track status, unified approval inbox on the dashboard, year-wide summary (/admin/summary), custom leave types (/admin/leave-types when enabled), and team calendar views.
Leave: My requests
Your leave hub: list pending and past requests, create a new request, open an item to edit, or cancel when policy allows.
Approvals inbox & leave queue
Dashboard Approval Center (#approval-center) lists leave, missed punches, mileage, and day notes. /admin/requests remains the leave-only queue.
Leave: Employee summary (admin)
Year roll-up at /admin/summary: per-employee PTO taken vs remaining, utilization, and links to detail or calendar; managers see direct reports, admins see the company (company admins see the company).
Leave: Custom leave types (admin)
Manage company leave types at /admin/leave-types when custom types are enabled: list, add, edit, reorder; vacation and sick are mandatory; codes are lowercase_snake_case.
Time tracking
Employee timesheet, forgot-punch, manager/HR hubs, live staff GPS map, admin overtime rules, PIN kiosk at /clockin, and week totals when time tracking is on.
Timesheet: Employee view
Personal time tracking hub: clock status, hours, punches with photos/GPS when required, plus Forgot to punch and payroll day notes.
Timesheet: Manager & HR hub
The /timesheet command center: Daily / Weekly / Monthly. Day notes and forgot-punch are separate queues — weekly grid is hours, not punch reconstruction.
Overtime: Admin rules
Company overtime hub at /admin/overtime: company-wide thresholds, rule list, weekly matrix link, and Create Rule at /admin/overtime/create for per-employee overrides.
Forgot to punch
Submit a missed or wrong punch at /timesheet/forgot-punch (60-day window). Managers approve or edit times; approved requests become a time entry.
Payroll day notes / hours
When the punch is already correct: employees propose a note or ± hours at /timesheet/payroll-adjustment. Admins review at /admin/payroll-adjustments. Different from Forgot to punch.
Live staff map
Manager/HR/admin map at /admin/live-map: who is inbound vs clocked in, GPS history, and Clock-rules consent. Employees do not get this map.
PTO software, clocks & overtime (product guide)
How integrated leave and time tracking make overtime easier: punches, weekly grids, live map, apps, payroll handoff—plus links to the full library and compliance references.
Mileage
Employee trip logging, personal My Mileage hub, and manager/HR approval at /admin/mileage when mileage is enabled.
Mileage hub
Your mileage home at /mileage: Start a live GPS trip, summary cards, trip history, and shortcuts to log a trip by hand.
Mileage: Submit a trip
Manual Log New Trip at /mileage/create (date, route or odometer, vehicle). Live GPS Start trip is on /mileage, not this form.
Mileage: Management (admin)
Approver hub at /admin/mileage: pending totals, filters, trip list, export CSV, open a trip to approve or reject (managers, HR, admins; accountants may be read-only).
Employees
Admin roster: directory, add people, CSV import, and per-employee settings.
Employees: Admin roster
Company employee list at /admin/employees: search, CSV import, and Add Employee (3-step wizard at /admin/employees/wizard/step1).
Add employee wizard
Admin-only 3-step hire flow at /admin/employees/wizard/step1 (info, statutory PTO recommendations, final setup). Employees do not have a wizard to set up their own accounts.
Employees: Edit employee
Admin edit screen for one person: Profile, Leave & Time Off, Mileage (if on), and Reports & Settings tabs with Save Changes.
Scheduling
Admin schedule management, shift templates, bulk assignment—with schedule validation rules at /admin/validation when time tracking is on.
Shift templates
Reusable schedule patterns at /admin/templates: list, stats, filters, import/export; create new templates at /admin/templates/create before bulk or per-employee assignment.
My Schedule
Your week or month at /schedule, with leave overlay. Managers can switch to Team. Admin assignment still lives at /admin/schedule.
Schedule management
Admin hub at /admin/schedule: coverage stats, employee list with schedule status, per-person edit, and link to bulk assignment at /admin/schedule/bulk-edit.
Schedule: Edit one employee
Per-person screen: weekly Work Schedule, plus a separate one-day hours card with Save this date only (approved exception — not a checkbox on the weekly form).
Schedule: Validation rules (admin)
Company rules at /admin/validation: preset strictness, time limits, breaks, test scenarios, export/import JSON—HR can view; company admin edit.
Company settings
Company profile, time off, overtime, payroll runs (/admin/payroll, /admin/payroll/create), compensation (/admin/compensation), job offers (/offers/create), work locations & geofencing (/admin/work-locations), work activities (/admin/work-activities), public holidays (/admin/holidays), clock rules, profile rules, vehicles, and admin access.
Compensation: Employee records (admin)
Hub at /admin/compensation when compensation & payroll is enabled: filter roster by employee, type, and status; card grid of salary/hourly/contract records; add, view, edit, history; optional Hire Employee to job-offer flow.
Compensation: View, edit & history
Per-record detail /admin/compensation/{id} (rates, status, notes, Edit/View History/Employee); edit form /admin/compensation/{id}/edit; timeline /admin/compensation/employee/{userId}/history for effective-dated rows.
Job offer wizard
Five-step flow at /offers/create: candidate, compensation package, benefits, bonuses, review—save draft or send offer email when compensation & payroll is enabled (breadcrumb from Compensation).
Payroll: Runs & history (admin)
Hub at /admin/payroll: Run Payroll, filter, approve, export, mark paid. After mark-paid, employees see stubs at /pay-stubs.
Payroll: Create run (admin)
Run Payroll wizard at /admin/payroll/create: pay date, per-employee hours and payroll lines, gross/tax/deduction/net, compliance banners, Approve & Pay—or no pay period / no employees states.
Work locations (admin)
Hub at /admin/work-locations: office and job-site directory, stats (total/active/GPS/assigned headcount), add location, list with address/coords/geofence, edit, delete when unused.
Holiday management (admin)
Catalog at /admin/holidays: sync public holidays, add or hide company holidays. Staff self-service is /holidays. Line managers do not get this admin catalog.
Work activities (admin)
Settings → Work Activities at /admin/work-activities: enable tracking, add billable codes, then staff switch activity on a punch (kiosk/web/app). Activity Reports appear in Settings when tracking is on. Not the live map.
Company settings
Control center at /company/settings: Clock tab includes live location, inbound 30 minutes, require photo. Accounting sync is /integrations/accounting, not this hub.
Insights & reporting
Workforce analytics (/admin/analytics), reports & exports (/admin/reports), inviting read-only accountant access (/admin/accountant-access), QuickBooks/FreshBooks at /integrations/accounting, and REST API keys at /api/keys.
Analytics dashboard
Single-page analytics at /admin/analytics: year and date range filters, executive PTO/timesheet KPIs, leave usage, approvals, hours, overtime, patterns, locations, schedule adherence—managers see direct reports; HR/admins see company scope.
Reports & exports (admin)
Hub at /admin/reports: Payroll Hours Report with date presets, refresh, daily breakdown, Excel/CSV download, email to accountant; Quick Exports for roster, PTO, payroll data, year-end; Invite Accountant link for company admins.
Accountant access (invite)
At /admin/accountant-access: invite accountants by email (14-day token), list pending/accepted/expired invitations, cancel pending invites or remove access for accepted users—read-only reports/timesheets scope per product rules.
QuickBooks & FreshBooks
Connect books at /integrations/accounting. QuickBooks Online receives TimeActivity from completed punches (email match). FreshBooks receives time plus approved mileage expenses. Sandbox cannot OAuth. Not native invoicing.
API keys
Create and revoke REST keys at /api/keys (X-API-Key). Endpoint bible and webhook payloads stay at /api-docs — this page is keys only.
Calendar & coverage
Team and personal views, legends, and month navigation.
My holidays
Public and company holidays that apply to you at /holidays, using your country (and subdivision) plus paid-day rules. Admins still manage the catalog at /admin/holidays.
Calendar: Team timeline
Team leave Coverage timeline at /calendar (who=team). /calendar/coverage 301s to that view. Approve from the dashboard Approval Center, not a leftover Manage Requests label.
Calendar: Employee month view
Single-person month grid (Sun–Sat), holidays and approved leave per day, plus month summary and leave list — for employees and for managers viewing a selected user.
