What is ToilManager?

Toil Manager is a time off in lieu recorder - a free, simple and easy to use program which records and tracks employee TOIL (also referred to as compensatory time off or comp time off). Toil Manager is open source software, released under the GNU General Public License, and is freely available for commercial use. It does not require users to register, and does not contain spyware of any kind.

Why use ToilManager?

Many companies utilise dedicated human resources or personnel software packages, which may in themselves include TOIL tracking modules. However, such packages are typically only used by the Human Resources department. This means that managers and team leaders may have to make do with simpler means of logging staff toil, perhaps by using Microsoft Excel to build a time off in lieu spreadsheet, or by using Microsoft Access to build a time off in lieu form. Tracking TOIL with applications and tools such as these can be quite difficult, and to set them up in the first place usually requires significant and creative use of macros and Visual Basic.

This is where Toil Manager comes in, providing a lightweight TOIL recording solution for the desktop that can be used straight away without even having to run an installer. The windows-based interface is intuitive, and makes the management and scheduling of staff toil easy.
