Track time off in lieu for site workers, supervisors, and project managers. Handle TOIL from project overruns, weekend callouts, and extended working days — accurately and automatically.
TimeTally keeps TOIL tracking alongside annual leave and timesheets in one system — so site managers have a complete picture of workforce availability.
Project-based work and variable site hours create TOIL headaches that spreadsheets can't solve.
When deadlines push workers to stay late or work weekends, the overtime is worked but rarely logged as formal TOIL — leading to disputes when workers expect time back.
Site workers moving between projects lose their informal TOIL records. The next site manager has no idea what was owed from the previous job.
Construction teams often work variable patterns — 10-hour days, compressed weeks, weekend callouts. Calculating TOIL correctly from all of these is error-prone without a system.
Approving TOIL time off is only possible when enough workers remain on site. Managers need to see who's already off before agreeing to more TOIL leave.
Different contractual rules apply to subbies vs. employees. Without separate tracking, TOIL entitlements get muddled and disputes arise.
As a project extends, accumulated TOIL becomes a hidden cost. Project managers need to know the total hours owed to plan resource and budget accurately.
Site workers check their TOIL balance and submit requests from their phone between jobs. Managers receive the request instantly and can approve or decline with a note — no paperwork, no phone calls, no delays.
Mobile-first for site workers
The iOS app works on any smartphone — no desktop needed to manage TOIL from site
Manager approval with crew visibility
Site managers check who else is off before approving — maintaining minimum crew levels
Permanent audit trail
Every TOIL accrual, request, and decision is stored — no more disputes about what was owed
See TOIL bookings, annual leave, and sick leave together on the team calendar. Project managers can check site coverage before approving any TOIL request — keeping crews at minimum safe levels.
TOIL, annual leave, and sick leave on one calendar — no switching between systems

Define your TOIL accrual rate, balance cap, and expiry period once — and TimeTally applies them consistently across every worker. Set different rules for direct employees vs. contract workers, and for weekday overtime vs. weekend callouts.
Pair TOIL management with timesheet tracking and construction leave management for complete workforce visibility.
Useful for construction teams: Create separate TOIL types for standard overtime (1:1) and weekend/bank holiday callouts (1.5:1) — each with their own colour so project managers can see the full cost at a glance.

Site workers log their hours in TimeTally's timesheet. When total hours exceed their contracted hours, the excess can be designated as TOIL accrual by a manager. The rate — for example 1:1 or 1.5:1 for weekend work — is set in your TOIL policy settings and applied automatically.
Yes. TimeTally organises employees under one account regardless of which site they work on. Managers can filter the team calendar by individual or department to see TOIL balances and upcoming bookings per site or team.
Balances accumulate accurately in real time. Once the project pressure eases, employees can submit TOIL requests and managers can approve them with visibility of who else is off — useful for maintaining minimum site crew levels.
You can add any worker to TimeTally as an employee. Casual and subcontract workers can have their own TOIL policies and leave entitlements, tracked separately from your direct employees, within the same account.
Yes. Your TOIL policy settings let you define a maximum balance cap and an expiry period — for example, TOIL must be taken within 3 months of accrual or it lapses. This prevents large, unmanageable balances building up over long projects.
No minimum. TimeTally is used by sole traders with a couple of employees and large construction firms alike. At £2 per employee per month, it scales affordably from small groundwork companies to main contractors.
