Time, PTO, expenses, and HR backup before payroll gets messy

Timeclock/HR gets labor and people paperwork ready before payroll, reimbursement, or compliance review. Employees clock and code time to projects, service calls, estimates, or overhead work; foremen and payroll reviewers clean up the week; managers see who is off; and HR/accounting keep expense backup, receipts, safety records, policies, and employee files attached to the people who own them.

How time and HR work move from field entry to review

Employees code time to the work that caused it

Clocking in is only half of it. Field employees need to say whether the hours belong to a project, service call, estimate, overhead work, or a break so nobody rebuilds payroll and job cost from memory on Friday.

  • Clock in, clock out, and manage breaks
  • Code hours to project, service, estimate, or overhead targets
  • Review the weekly timesheet before it is submitted
Timeclock dashboard
The employee dashboard keeps clock status and the timesheet together.

Foremen and payroll reviewers clean up the week before export

Company and crew timesheets give reviewers a place to catch missing rows, wrong job codes, rejected sheets, daily overtime, and submitted hours before payroll turns a field mistake into a pay problem.

  • Review crew and company timesheets by week
  • Edit rows, add rows, delete bad rows, and correct coding
  • Certify, reopen, approve, reject, or bulk approve when the record is ready
Company timesheets
The company view is set up for approving and kicking back timesheets.

PTO shows who is unavailable before the schedule is guessed

Time off affects the crew plan. Managers need the dates, status, paid/unpaid split, approver trail, and balance ledger while they decide whether the crew plan still works.

  • Request, approve, deny, or cancel PTO
  • Check who else is off that week
  • Use balance history before approving paid time
PTO calendar
The PTO screen turns time off into a workforce decision.

Expenses get reviewed as receipts come in

Reimbursements and company-card rows carry employee, merchant, amount, receipt state, job or overhead coding, and review status so accounting can see what is missing before closing the month.

  • Track reimbursement and company-card activity
  • See missing receipts and pending reviews by employee
  • Build report packets, import card CSVs, and manage issued cards
Company expense accounts
Expense accounts make receipt and card cleanup visible before accounting has to chase it.

HR library keeps the current policy in the field

Handbooks, PTO policies, safety documents, receipt rules, and new-hire paperwork need version control and an obvious place to live. The HR library keeps the current document, category, version, effective date, and replacement action together.

  • Publish current policies and forms
  • Track category, version, and effective date
  • Replace documents and keep the earlier versions
HR library
The library is the source of current workforce paperwork.

Employee files separate visible records from HR-private backup

Certifications, licenses, onboarding packets, payroll records, and HR-private documents do not all belong in the same pile. Employee Files keep who can see it, expiration, category, and status clear for each person.

  • Store employee-visible and HR-private records
  • Track certifications, licenses, onboarding, and compliance files
  • Show current, expiring, expired, missing, or archived status
Employee files
Employee records stay attached to the employee and show what is about to expire.

Who uses it

Capture Time

Employees clock in/out, start/end breaks, choose the right work target, and build timesheets without paper cards.

Review before payroll

Managers review my/company/crew timesheets, edit grids, add/delete rows, certify, reopen, approve, reject, and bulk approve.

Keep HR-adjacent Records Close

PTO, HR files, employee files, expenses, receipts, safety records, user requests, and report packets live in the same workforce area.

Workforce questions contractors have to answer

What You Need How Build Daily Handles It
Clock status Yes
Shows whether employees are clocked in and gives them a place to start, stop, break, and review their week.
Job and service coding Yes
Lets time be assigned to projects, service work, estimates, or overhead so labor does not arrive as uncoded hours.
Crew and company review Yes
Gives foremen, HR, and payroll reviewers weekly grids with submitted, certified, approved, rejected, and reopened states.
Timesheet corrections Yes
Supports row edits, add/delete row cleanup, certification, reopening, approval, rejection, and bulk approval before payroll review.
PTO and people off Yes
Shows pending time off, paid and unpaid days, approver status, who else is off, and the balance ledger.
Expense cleanup Yes
Tracks reimbursement and company-card totals, missing receipts, open employee accounts, imports, report packets, and review state.
HR library Yes
Keeps current policies, handbooks, forms, safety documents, receipt rules, versions, effective dates, and upload/replacement actions together.
Employee files Yes
Stores employee documents with category, who can see them, expiration, and status so HR-private and employee-visible documents stay separate.
Safety and requests Yes
Keeps safety reports and employee requests near the Timeclock/HR workspace instead of spreading them through email.
Admin controls Yes
Gives admins settings, report queues, job code search, card management, import and export, and views limited by role.

A week of labor and people paperwork

1

The Employee Records the Day

Hours are clocked and coded while the work is still fresh, with breaks and work targets captured before the week becomes a reconstruction project.

2

The foreman or reviewer checks the week

Crew and company views show submitted sheets, certified sheets, rejected sheets, row-level coding, daily totals, and actions for approving or sending work back.

3

PTO is handled with the labor plan in mind

Time-off requests are reviewed against dates, balance, paid/unpaid treatment, and who else is away before the schedule is assumed to be covered.

4

Expenses move from receipt to accounting task

Reimbursement and company-card activity is grouped by employee with missing receipts, open dollars, review state, card assignment, report building, and import controls visible.

5

HR keeps workforce paperwork attached to people

Policies live in the library. Certifications, licenses, onboarding acknowledgements, and HR-private backup stay on the employee file with who can see them and when they expire.

6

Payroll and Accounting Get Fewer Surprises

Labor, PTO, receipts, and employee records get reviewed before they turn into payroll disputes, uncoded job costs, or month-end cleanup.

What changes during the week and how Timeclock/HR keeps it reviewable

Payroll Week Cleanup

  • Employees code time to the job, service call, estimate, or overhead bucket.
  • Foremen review crew sheets and send bad rows back before payroll sees them.
  • Payroll reviewers approve the company week when submitted hours and job coding are clean.

PTO Coverage Decision

  • The employee requests time off with dates and paid/unpaid treatment.
  • Managers check who else is off and the balance history.
  • Approve or deny with the labor plan in view, before the crew is already short.

Receipt and Card Follow Up

  • Employee expense rows carry merchant, amount, company card or reimbursement, receipt state, and job/overhead coding.
  • Accounting sees open employee accounts, missing receipts, and what is waiting on review.
  • Reports, imports, and card management stay in the same review desk.

HR Files Up to Date

  • Current policies and forms are kept in the HR library with the version and effective date.
  • Employee files identify certifications, licenses, onboarding, private records, and expiring status.
  • Safety reports and employee requests stay close to the workforce record.
