Construction Time Card App for Crew, Equipment, and Payroll
Capture crew hours, equipment time, cost codes, approvals, and payroll export in one workflow, so field time is ready for job costing, equipment records, and payroll.
Time cards
Entered once in the field. Ready for payroll.
Field Time Entry Built for Equipment Crews
Field crews can submit their hours right from the jobsite. Foremen can enter time for the whole crew from one device, while mechanics, operators, and drivers can submit their own hours from mobile or web when needed.
Foreman crew entry: Enter hours for multiple workers in one workflow
Individual mobile entry: Let mechanics, operators, drivers, and crew members clock in and out digitally
Equipment time capture: Attach labor hours to the equipment used during the shift
Geofence review flags: Flag timecards logged outside the jobsite geofence for manager review
Supervisor Review Before Payroll Export
Before hours reach payroll, managers need a fast way to catch missing details, incorrect entries, and crew-level issues. Managers can review timecards from mobile or web before approved records move forward.
Manager review: Review crew timecards from mobile or web before payroll export
Timecard correction workflow: Send inaccurate entries back for correction before payroll export
Crew-based filtering: View timecards for assigned crews without sorting through every entry
Approval-ready records: Move approved timecards into payroll and ERP export workflows
Cost Code, Equipment, and Work Order Time Tracking
Every hour needs the right job detail attached before it reaches payroll. Crews can tie field time to cost codes, equipment, and work orders at entry, giving project and payroll teams cleaner labor data.
Cost code time entry: Require cost codes on time entries based on the entry type
Work order time logging: Let mechanics log labor directly inside the work order they are completing
Equipment time capture: Attach labor hours to the equipment used during the shift
WO task cost codes: Carry cost codes from work order tasks into the time entry workflow
Reconcile Timecards With Equipment Hours
Operator-reported hours and telematics hours can drift apart. Timecard records connected to equipment help teams compare field-entered labor with asset activity before utilization or cost reviews.
Equipment-linked timecards: Tie operator hours to the equipment used during the shift
Hours Reconciliation: Compare logged time against telematics engine hours by asset
Billing dispute prevention: Catch hour discrepancies before they create billing or job-cost issues
Utilization review support: Use labor and equipment-hour records to review asset use more clearly
Payroll and ERP Export That Carries Hours Forward
Approved timecards carry forward after review instead of being rebuilt by hand. Crew hours can move into payroll and ERP workflows with worker, project, cost code, equipment, and work order details already attached.
Approved timecard export: Export reviewed and approved timecards for payroll processing
ERP-ready formats: Support configured exports for Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, HCSS HeavyJob, and supported payroll workflows where implemented
Pay-period exports: Pull approved hours by pay period for payroll runs
Enter hours once: Send field time forward without rekeying the same hours in another system
Crew Hour Visibility Before Payroll Runs
Payroll surprises usually start before payroll day. Clear worker, crew, and project hour summaries help managers review labor totals before approved timecards move into payroll.
Worker hour totals: Review daily and weekly hours by worker before payroll export
Crew summaries: See total submitted hours by crew, project, or reporting period
Project labor review: Check where labor hours are being charged before payroll runs
Payroll-ready reports: Pull approved timecard summaries for payroll and management review

From the field to payroll
Why Construction Companies Use Clue for Time Cards
Field hours become cleaner payroll, tighter job costing, and better equipment cost control without rebuilding time records by hand.
Faster Payroll Runs
Approved timecards move into payroll and ERP workflows, so teams skip rekeying the same crew hours.
More Accurate Payroll
Supervisor review, correction workflows, and cleaner time records help send accurate hours to payroll.
Improve Job Cost Control
Cost codes, project details, and work order labor stay attached to time entries before payroll review.
Protect Equipment Utilization Data
Compare operator time with equipment activity to catch hour gaps before utilization and billing reviews.
Collect Time Faster
Foremen can submit crew time from one device, helping supervisors collect hours faster from the field.
Control Labor Cost Earlier
Worker, crew, project, and pay-period summaries help managers spot labor issues before payroll runs.
Field Hours Stay With the Job.
Crew hours and business records can feed the same payroll workflow. Clue connects OEM telematics, GPS and aftermarket trackers, and ERP, accounting and CMMS systems, and carries approved time forward with the job detail already attached.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a construction time card app?
A construction time card app lets field crews record work hours digitally instead of using paper time sheets. For construction equipment teams, the best setup also connects timecards to crews, equipment, cost codes, work orders, approvals, and payroll export.
Can a foreman submit timecards for an entire crew?
Yes. Clue supports foreman crew entry, so one foreman can enter time for the whole crew from one device. This makes it useful for heavy civil and equipment crews where every worker may not have a phone in the field.
Can crews enter time from mobile or web?
Yes. Mechanics, operators, drivers, and crew members can enter time from mobile or web. Managers can then review submitted time before it moves into payroll or ERP export workflows.
How does geofence time flagging work?
Clue can flag timecards logged outside the expected jobsite geofence for manager review. It does not block the entry. It helps supervisors review questionable time before approval.
Can timecards include cost codes, equipment, and work orders?
Yes. Time entries can include cost codes, equipment used, and work order labor. Mechanics can also log labor directly inside the work order they are completing, which keeps time tied to the right equipment record and cost detail.
Can Clue timecards be exported to payroll or ERP systems?
Yes. Approved timecards can move into payroll and ERP export workflows without rekeying the same hours by hand. Exports can carry worker, project, cost code, equipment, and work order details forward.
Is there a driver timecard mode?
Yes. Clue includes a driver timecard mode designed around how drivers track their day. This gives drivers a dedicated time entry flow instead of forcing them into a generic crew timecard workflow.
How is Clue different from standalone construction timecard apps?
Standalone timecard apps usually stop at clock-in, approval, and payroll export. Clue connects timecards with equipment, work orders, inspections, cost codes, dispatch, and ERP workflows, giving construction equipment teams a stronger link between field hours and operating cost.
