Time Tracking

Turn crew hours into real labor cost

Clock in from the field, log hours after the fact, and approve each entry. Once approved, those hours price out at each member's burdened rate and land as actual labor cost on the budget line — so you always know what the work really costs.

Live clock or manual entry

Clock in and out in real time — track breaks, switch projects mid-shift, capture an optional GPS pin — or log hours by hand when someone worked offline.

Every entry is approved before it counts

Hours start as Pending and only reach the budget once a manager marks them Approved. Nothing rolls into job costing until you sign off.

Burdened rates, overtime automatic

Set each member's Standard and Overtime rates once. Foreman splits hours by your overtime rules and prices every approved hour — no rate picking.

The Live Clock

Clock in from the office or the field

Start the clock when work begins and stop it when it ends. Take a break and it pauses; switch to another project mid-shift and the worked time carries across without resetting. Allow location and Foreman drops an advisory GPS pin showing how far the crew was from the site — it never blocks a clock-in.

Hours don't hit job costing until you approve them

Every shift and every manual entry lands as Pending. Filter the list to Pending, open each one, and set its Status to Approved — the gate that lets hours and labor cost roll into the budget. Pull an entry back to Pending any time to remove it. The Status control only appears for members who can manage the team.

Approved hours become real cost on the budget line

Each member carries a burdened Standard and Overtime rate. When an entry is approved, its hours price out automatically and roll up as Hours and Time Cost against the budget item you attributed them to. Rates are frozen onto the entry when it's logged, so historical labor cost stays stable even after you change a rate later.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Track the hours

Use the live clock to clock in and out — with breaks and project switching — or log hours manually after the fact. Attribute each to a budget item.

2

Approve the entries

A manager reviews pending entries and sets each one to Approved. Only approved, attributed hours count toward the budget.

3

See real labor cost

Foreman prices approved hours at each member's burdened rates and rolls Hours and Time Cost into the matching budget line.
