Everything your company needs
for easy leave management
Real phone & email support
Many competing systems offer email-only or ticket-based support. WhosOff includes free UK phone and email support for every account — before, during, and after your migration — with a team available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm.
More leave policy depth at a lower price
WhosOff offers maximum staffing limits, peak-period restrictions, multi-manager approval options, and custom leave types - features that are either absent or locked behind higher-tier plans in competing systems - as standard.
Overtime & TOIL tracking built in
WhosOff includes a dedicated overtime and TOIL module - not available in Timetastic, LeaveTrack, or many other competing platforms - allowing you to log additional hours, accrue lieu time, and export TOIL data directly to payroll.
Free iOS & Android apps for every user
Every WhosOff user - not just managers, gets free access to the dedicated iOS and Android apps. Submit requests, check balances, and view team availability from anywhere, at any time.
Personnel records & document storage
WhosOff's Staff Hub goes beyond leave management - storing employment contracts, HR policies, and personnel data in one place, with read-and-agree receipts for compliance purposes. This replaces the need for a separate HR document system for many businesses.
No long contracts, clear pricing
WhosOff is priced per employee, with no long-term contracts, no setup fees, and no migration charge. You can start a free trial, run it alongside your existing system, and only commit when you are fully satisfied - with pricing visible to everyone upfront without having to speak to sales.
