Time Tracking and Policy Enhancements

Elissa

Posted on January 17th, 2025

We’re implementing major enhancements to make it easier for your employees to track time, give your supervisors more visibility and flexibility, and provide more tools to help you better manage your payroll policies.

Keep an eye on this article to learn what’s new, improved, and coming soon to the field’s favorite web and mobile app.

Updated January 2025

Coming soon

Updates to payroll and time policies

Set company-wide, configurable time policies for custom employee groups for a higher level of control, consistency, and accuracy across projects.

You'll need to review and update your time policy settings so please keep an eye out for more info and required action items.

Here’s what’s changing:

  • Overtime rules - Assign more granular OT rules (including by time of day, day of week, consecutive days, and more) to individual employees, instead of by project

  • Breaks - Require and track mandatory breaks

  • Rounding - Create custom rounding rules for clock in, clock out, and breaks

  • Time tracking settings - Choose who’s using which time entry method, whether cost codes are required, and other specifications

Use crew time to get a clear, mobile friendly view of your crew's time

Using crew time, supervisors will be able to use our mobile app to review, update, and approve timesheets by employees or crew across projects. Get a filtered, mobile friendly view of your crew's time:

  • View and edit time cards for accuracy

  • Review compliance with clock in/out questions and Photo ID

  • Capture employee signatures and approve time

Crew time provides an easy way for supervisors to manage all their crews’ time across projects in the same place, without having to open every project individually. 

More easily manage personal time across projects

With our new my time view, employees will be able to quickly create multiple time cards across various projects to more easily log and sign off on time.

Instead of having to create time cards within each individual project, you’ll have one convenient location to:

  • Easily log time for multiple projects

  • Create and sign off on time cards with simple project selection

  • Get a personal view of all your time and quickly make edits

What’s released

Copy functionality has replaced rollover

We’ve upgraded rollover to give you the flexibility and control to select which work logs or time cards you want to copy from the previous day. 

Our new copy feature:

  • Allows you to copy work logs from any report date

  • Defaults to all worklogs from the previous day, just like rollover

  • Can be used to copy completed or empty logs

You’ll gain:

  • More control - Copy any number of logs from any report

  • More transparency - There’s no more automatic log creation

  • Less confusion - Say goodbye to unused, empty logs that need to be ignored or deleted
