GPS punch clock for construction contractors
Q: How does Hoptimize's intelligent GPS time stamp work for the construction industry?
The employee only needs to tell you or his/her supervisor. Administrators and supervisors can change times for other employees. As a safeguard, you will clearly see that the time has been modified by the employee's supervisor. When an employee punches in/out at the site, the actions are validated by Hoptimize!
Q: What happens if an employee forgets to punch in/out?
The employee only needs to tell you or his/her supervisor. Administrators and supervisors can change times for other employees. As a safeguard, you will clearly see that the time has been modified by the employee's supervisor. When an employee punches in/out at the site, the actions are validated by Hoptimize!
Q: Does Hoptimize track my employees at all times?
Never! Hoptimize only checks the GPS position of the employee when the employee punches in/out. Hoptimize never detects employee positions at other times. The purpose is simply to validate times employees arrive and exit sites as agreed.
Q: Does Hoptimize allow an employee to work on several construction sites at once?
Yes of course!!! An employee may return to a site, visit another and you can even add up transportation time.
Q: How does the time bank feature work?
Hoptimize will bank and distribute hours in cases where employees exceed or go under a 40-hour work week for example. During a slow week, Hoptimize will take hours from the employee's banked hours to make up and pay for a 40-hour work week.
Q: How does the timecards validation work?
Quite simple. Each day, a supervisor at the site or manager at the office validates the team time stamps/punches. All they need to do is to click on the "validate" button. Every week, the administrator or head can view the total weekly hours and approve timesheets for payroll.
Q: Can I send timesheets to my accountant?
Very easily. Timesheets are generated in Excel format. They can then be imported into accounting software or sent to your accountant to process payroll.
