Book’d Off

Built for UK police rotas · useful to any shift worker

Plan Shifts,
Track Leave,
Balance Life.

Your calendar app can show you a shift. It can’t tell you how much annual leave you have left, what your TOIL balance is, or how many re-rostered rest days you’re still owed. Book’d Off counts all of it — so it stops living on a scrap of paper in your locker.

The bit nobody else does

Shifts are the easy part.

Plenty of apps will show you when you’re working. The hard part is everything that hangs off those shifts — and it’s the part that costs you money when it’s wrong.

Annual leave, to the minute

Entitlement, carry-over surplus, and a leave year that starts wherever yours does — calendar or tax year. Book full or half days and the balance updates itself, so you always know what’s left before you book.

TOIL that adds up

Take overtime as pay or time off in lieu, allocate it against a shift, and keep a running balance instead of a note on your phone.

Rest days you’re owed

Record a cancelled rest day, track the re-rostered date, and reallocate it when it moves again.

And what you’re entitled to

Optional prompts based on England & Wales Police Regulations as you record overtime, rest day working, bank holidays and cancelled annual leave. Advisory only — but it tells you there’s something worth asking about.

Who it’s for

Built for policing. Not limited to it.

Book’d Off was designed around UK police shift patterns, and the Police Regulations guidance is written for England & Wales. But nothing about annual leave, TOIL, re-rostered rest days or a rotating pattern is unique to policing — if you work a rota, the rest of the app fits you exactly as well.
