Hours by project

The Best Time Tracking Software for Job Sites and Multi-Project Crews

When the same crew works three addresses in a week, total hours aren't enough — you need to know which project they went to. Time-Clocking is an employee time clock for job sites: your team picks their site, clocks in from their phone, the location is checked, and the hours report per site ready for payroll and job costing.

Why Hours Get Lost Between Projects

One sheet, several sites

A weekly paper sheet says how long someone worked but rarely says clearly where — so allocating labour to a job becomes guesswork.

Site names remembered wrongly

By Friday, a Tuesday afternoon at one address blurs into a Wednesday morning at another, and the wrong project absorbs the cost.

No idea who's on which site right now

Without a live view, finding out whether the second crew turned up means ringing someone and hoping they answer.

Payroll and job costing fight each other

The hours you pay and the hours you charge come from different pieces of paper, so they never quite agree.

How Time-Clocking Keeps Every Shift on the Right Site

A record for every active site

Each site has its own address, client reference and approved area, so it stays a real place rather than a label on a sheet.

Assignments per employee

People can only log time at sites they are assigned to, which removes most wrong-project entries before they happen.

Location checked for that site

The clock-in is checked against the chosen site's area, so the site on the record is the site they were standing on.

Live view of the day

See who is clocked in and where, so a missing crew is something you find out this morning rather than on payday.

Hours reported by site

Filter by site, employee and date range, then export the totals as a CSV for payroll or for costing the job.

How Job Site Time Tracking Works

1
The employee clocks in from their phone
They open Time-Clocking, pick the site they're working at today and tap Clock In.
2
GPS confirms the location
Their distance from that site's approved area is checked at that moment. If it doesn't pass, no shift is created.
3
The hours are recorded
The clock-in time is stored, and the clock-out at the end of the shift closes the same entry.
4
The timesheet is ready for payroll
Totals per employee and per site build up as shifts complete, and export as a CSV when you run payroll.

What You Get From Tracking Time Per Job Site

Labour costs you can attribute

Hours arrive already attached to a project, so you can see what each one is consuming.

Accurate attendance per site

The location check confirms the person was at that site when the shift started.

Less chasing supervisors

The day's picture is on one screen instead of spread across phone calls.

Cleaner payroll runs

One set of records serves both the pay run and the job review.

Faster site handovers

Adding a new site takes a minute, so a project starting Monday is ready on Friday.

Simple for the crew

Pick the site, tap Clock In. Nothing to fill in at the end of the week.

Businesses Running Time Across Multiple Sites

General contractors

Several builds running at once with crews moving between them as trades finish.

Specialist trades

Electrical, plumbing and roofing teams doing short visits across many addresses.

Fit-out and refurbishment

Projects in occupied buildings where attendance records matter to the client too.

Maintenance contracts

Recurring work at a fixed list of premises that has to be evidenced per property.

Grounds and landscaping

Scheduled visits to properties where hours per site drive the invoice.

Cleaning contracts

Evening rounds covering several buildings that each need their own hours.

Weekly Sheets Versus Site-Level Tracking

Paper, spreadsheets and punch clocks

Hours recorded for the week, not the project
Site names filled in from memory
No live view of who turned up where
Job costing rebuilt by hand afterwards
Sheets arriving days after the work

A mobile GPS time clock

Every shift carries the site it was worked on
Site chosen at clock-in and location checked
Today's crews visible on one screen
Totals per site available as they accumulate
Records exist the moment the shift ends

Job Site Time Tracking Questions

What is job site time tracking?

It is recording employee hours against the specific site or project the work happened on, rather than against the business as a whole. In Time-Clocking, the employee picks the site when they clock in, so every completed shift already carries the project it belongs to.

Can I track hours across several job sites at once?

Yes. Add each active site with its own address and approved area, assign the employees who work there, and hours build up per site in parallel.

How do I stop hours being logged against the wrong project?

Employees can only choose sites they are assigned to, and the location check has to pass for that particular site. Getting the site wrong means the clock-in fails rather than quietly landing in the wrong column.

Can I see how many hours a job has taken?

Yes. Reports total hours and shifts by site, so you can see what a project has consumed in labour hours so far and filter it by employee or date range.

Does an employee time clock for job sites need hardware?

No. Time-Clocking runs in the phone browser, which matters when a site has no office, no power and no permanent fixtures yet.

What happens when a crew moves site mid-week?

They clock out of one site and clock into the next one. Each shift stays attached to the site it was worked on, so a week split across three projects reports as three sets of hours.

Does this work for a small construction company?

Yes. Construction time tracking software is often built for large operations; Time-Clocking is deliberately simple enough for a handful of sites and a small crew.
