Set up time tracking rules including overtime thresholds, break requirements, and job code requirements. Configure mobile time tracking apps for field crews to clock in/out and track time by job and cost code.
3Assign Crews to Projects
Assign field crews to specific projects and tasks. Define crew schedules, expected hours, and skill requirements. Use scheduling tools to optimize crew assignments across multiple projects.

Field crews use mobile apps to clock in/out and track time by job and cost code. Supervisors approve time entries and can add notes or adjustments. System automatically calculates regular and overtime hours.
5Monitor Productivity
Compare actual hours worked to budgeted hours for each job and cost code. Identify productivity issues early. Use reports to see which crews are most efficient and which jobs are taking longer than expected.

Time tracking data flows directly into payroll. System calculates wages based on hours worked, pay rates, and overtime rules. Job costs are automatically allocated based on time entries.
