Manager Dashboard

One dashboard for every FM contract

FM operations managers juggle multiple client sites, each with different staffing requirements. TimeTally's dashboard gives you a single view of leave requests, approvals, and team availability across your entire portfolio — so you can make informed decisions without switching between spreadsheets.

See pending requests, check who is already off at each site, and approve or decline with one click. Whether you manage 3 contracts or 30, everything is in one place.

Organise by site or contract

Group engineers by client site so each contract manager sees their own team's leave

Approve with full context

See the team calendar alongside every request — check coverage before you approve

Quick Coverage Checks

Instant answers: who is off and when?

FM managers need fast answers. The “Who's Off This Week” widget shows today's absences at a glance, while the monthly calendar lets you plan reactive and planned maintenance cover weeks ahead.

Protect reactive capacity

Check engineer availability before approving leave so you never drop below the response capacity your SLAs require.

Spot coverage gaps early

See thin dates weeks ahead. Arrange cover or adjust subcontractor schedules before a gap becomes a missed SLA.

Check from any site

Operations managers can view availability and handle approvals from the iOS app, wherever they are across the portfolio.

Common leave challenges in facilities management

If any of these sound familiar, it is time to replace spreadsheets with a proper staff holiday tracker built for multi-site FM operations.

1.

Multiple contracts, different SLAs

Each client site has its own service level requirements. Managing leave across 20 sites with 20 different expectations is impossible on a spreadsheet.

2.

Reactive maintenance at risk

When engineers take leave, reactive capacity drops. If the right skills are not available, response times suffer and client SLAs are missed.

3.

Mixed skill requirements per site

One site needs an electrical engineer, another needs a plumber. Leave approval needs to account for who has the right skills for each contract.

4.

Subcontractor coordination gaps

When direct staff are on leave, subcontractors need briefing and access. Without a clear view of who is off and when, this handover is unreliable.

5.

No audit trail for client disputes

When a client claims an SLA was missed due to understaffing, there is no clean record of which engineers were on leave and who was covering.

6.

Part-time and mobile engineers

Engineers who split their time across sites or work compressed hours have complex entitlements. Manual pro-rata calculations take time and are often wrong.

Contract-Level Team View

See who is off across every client contract

The team calendar gives operations managers a complete view of all leave across every FM contract. Plan reactive maintenance cover, protect SLA response times, and verify that every site has the skills it needs before approving further leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TimeTally help manage leave across multiple client sites with different SLAs?

TimeTally's team calendar gives operations managers a single view of all leave across every contract. You can organise employees by site or contract so managers can check staffing levels at each client location before approving leave. This helps you maintain the service levels each client expects without needing to cross-reference multiple spreadsheets.

How do we ensure reactive maintenance cover when engineers take leave?

TimeTally shows all approved leave across your engineering teams in one place. Before approving a request, managers can see exactly who is already off and what cover is available. For specialist roles — electrical, HVAC, plumbing — you can filter by team to check that the right skills are still available on the days in question.

Can TimeTally handle leave for staff on different client contracts with different working hours?

Yes. Each employee in TimeTally has their own profile with their individual contracted hours and entitlement. Staff dedicated to one client site can have different patterns from those on mobile or shared contracts. TimeTally calculates each person's correct pro-rata entitlement regardless of their working pattern.

How does TimeTally support compliance with client SLA reporting?

TimeTally lets you export all leave and absence data by date range and employee via CSV. This makes it straightforward to produce records showing staffing levels at a client site over a given period — useful when a client challenges whether their SLA was met or for contract review meetings.

Can TimeTally manage leave for both directly employed staff and subcontractors?

TimeTally is designed for employed staff. You can add subcontractors who work regular hours as employees in the system, but TimeTally does not manage subcontractor invoicing or availability rotas. For your directly employed FM workforce, TimeTally handles all leave management end to end.

Is TimeTally suitable for facilities management businesses running planned and reactive contracts?

Yes. TimeTally is used by facilities management businesses of all types — from planned maintenance contractors to total FM providers. At £2 per employee per month with no setup fee, it is affordable whether you have 10 engineers or 200 across multiple disciplines and client sites.
