Construction Timesheet Software

Have a question?

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

What is the main benefit of using a construction time clock app at the job site?

Although this may sound obvious, using a construction time clock app at your job site can significantly streamline how you track time and monitor labour costs. By enabling construction workers to log their hours directly through a mobile time clock, Hourly reduces errors and ensures accurate remuneration. This not only simplifies administrative processes for construction businesses but also enhances transparency among the workforce and your clients.

How can our construction business benefit from mobile devices in time tracking?

Mobile devices revolutionise time tracking for construction businesses by offering flexibility and real-time data capture. Workers at various job sites can clock in and clock out from anywhere, with their hours being instantly available for review without any manual data entry. This immediacy helps in managing labour costs more effectively and allows for quick adjustments in workforce allocation, enhancing overall project management efficiency.

How does Hourly help in reducing labour costs?

Construction time clock apps like Hourly reduce labour costs by providing precise tracking of hours worked. This prevents overpayments and discrepancies, which are common in manual tracking systems. Additionally, having detailed insights into labour allocation allows construction companies to optimise their operations in the future, reducing wastage and improving budget adherence.

Can construction workers use the app if they are not tech-savvy?

Absolutely - our construction time clock app is designed with ease-of-use in mind, making it suitable for everyone on the worksite. The interface is straightforward, requiring minimal steps to track time on mobile devices. This ensures all workers can successfully use the app regardless of their technological expertise.

Are there any privacy concerns with using mobile apps for time tracking in construction?

Hourly's and mobile apps for time tracking are designed with privacy as a priority, specifically with no GPS tracking. This ensures that while construction workers use the apps on their mobile devices to track time, their location is not recorded, focusing only on project tracking and labour cost management.

Does Hourly use cost codes?

In effect, yes. Every new project you create in Hourly allows you to set a custom billing rate. This means you can make a unique project for every step of a construction job, with a pre-determined rate assigned to each step (like drywalling, concreting or trench digging).

Can Hourly's time clock function without an internet connection?

Yes. Hourly’s mobile time clock app allows construction workers to clock in and out even in areas with limited or no internet connection. Once the device reconnects to the internet, the data automatically syncs, ensuring complete and accurate records without losing any time entries.

How does Hourly handle overtime for construction workers?

Hourly’s construction time clock app automatically calculates overtime hours based on your specified rules. You can customise different overtime thresholds, ensuring accurate pay rates for each worker without having to manually track extra hours.

Can we manage multiple construction sites with one Hourly account?

Absolutely. You can set up multiple projects or job sites within a single Hourly account. This centralised approach makes it easy to track labor data across different locations, all while retaining precise and segmented labour costs.

Does Hourly integrate with payroll or accounting software?

Yes. Hourly offers integrations with popular payroll and accounting platforms. By automatically transferring time and attendance data to these systems, you can avoid manual entry and streamline your overall financial processes.

How does Hourly handle time-off and sick leave tracking?

Hourly allows you to track time-off and sick leave with simple in-app features. Workers can request leave directly, and managers can approve or reject requests in real-time. This transparency ensures accurate pay and resource planning.

What reporting features does Hourly provide for construction businesses?

Hourly’s reporting tools provide detailed breakdowns of real and estimated labor costs, hours worked per employee or project, and overtime trends. Construction managers can use these insights to adjust schedules and budgets, resulting in more efficient use of resources and improved profit margins.
