Turn field time into payroll and labour cost
Take the approved hours off site, run them through payroll at the right grade and rate, and post the labour cost to the job so the cost report shows what the work actually cost.
How it works, step by step
3 steps across the platform - what you do at each one, and why it matters.
1
Collect the approved timesheets
Field timePull the week of timesheets from the field, checked and approved by the supervisor, with hours booked by worker and against the right cost code.
Why: A payroll run off unapproved hours pays for time nobody signed for. Approved timesheets are the one clean source both the wage and the job cost are built on.

2
Run hours into gross pay
PayrollTurn the approved hours into gross pay for each worker, applying the grade, the rate and any overtime or allowances the agreement carries.
Why: The same hour costs a labourer rate and a foreman rate very differently. Pricing by grade is what makes the wage right and the labour cost real, not an average guess.

Post labour cost to the job
FinancePost the payroll total to the project ledger against the right cost codes, so the labour spend sits alongside materials, plant and subcontract.
Why: A cost report missing its labour is telling you the job is cheaper than it is. Posting the wage bill to the job is what makes the cost to date complete and the margin honest.
