$150K saved in 6 weeks Workyard helped us track time more accurately than we'd ever managed before. We estimated $150,000–$200,000 in yearly payroll savings — and surpassed our yearly target in the first six weeks.
6× growth We were losing money on every job — couldn't bill clients accurately or pay our guys right. Workyard fixed that. Six times the business later, the margins finally make sense.
Zero payroll issues in 3 months Mondays used to be brutal — employees lining up at my door over payroll mistakes. Three months on Workyard, not a single issue.
$10K in payroll waste eliminated An $18/hr employee, off by an hour a week — with overtime, that's $1,500 a year. Multiply by ten guys and you see where the money was going. Workyard ended it.
Workyard is my admin team Five-person team, thirty clients, no admin support. Workyard became my admin team — every hour, every invoice, every job, all in one place.
Time theft eliminated Before Workyard, I had no way of knowing if a worker was where they said they were. Now I see the exact moment they leave the shop and arrive at the job site.
+30% in reimbursements We can hand clients a complete bill every 30 days with a full audit trail. That visibility is where the 30% lift in reimbursements came from.
Hundreds of hours saved weekly I've saved hundreds of hours a week by not having 20 supervisors moving against each other. I've never been able to consolidate time like that before.
$5K saved per week QuickBooks crashed twice and wiped our hours. We switched to Workyard, plugged it into our accounting, and started saving roughly $5,000 a week almost immediately.
No more over-budget projects If a worker stays clocked in when they shouldn't, we blow the budget on a fixed-price job. With Workyard, every minute we bill is a minute we actually paid for.
$123K saved with Smart Forms When our insurance inspector came for a pre-audit, I handed him my phone. He'd never seen fleet maintenance tied to timekeeping like that — that's where the $123K in insurance savings came from.
California compliance, to the minute California wants it down to the minute — exact clock in, exact clock out. Workyard is the only tool we've found that delivers that without fighting the crews.
Tracking time and paperwork was a nightmare — timecards by email, safety forms by text, repair requests dropped off on paper. Workyard pulled it all into one place.

FAQs
A construction time clock is any system that captures when employees arrive and leave a job site. Traditional options — punch clocks, paper sign-in sheets, portable time clocks — rely on workers to remember and report accurately. Workyard replaces all of them with GPS-verified construction time tracking that captures hours automatically. Workers don't clock in manually; the system detects their arrival by geofence and records a verified time card.
A physical construction clock — wall-mounted, portable, or biometric — sits at one location and captures punch-in/punch-out. It can't track which job a worker is on, apply cost codes, or sync to payroll. Workyard's construction time clock runs on phones, a shared iPad kiosk, or a supervisor's device. It captures GPS-verified hours, codes them to the right job automatically, corrects errors before payroll, and pushes clean data into 20+ payroll systems. One platform replaces the punch clock, the spreadsheet, and the end-of-week data entry.
Mobile App: GPS detects when a construction worker crosses the job-site geofence and clocks them in automatically — no tap required. Works offline. Kiosk: A shared iPad at the gate or trailer. Workers tap their name and verify with face detection. Supervisor: A foreman clocks in the whole crew from one device — useful for large construction sites, mixed trades, or crews without phones. All three methods produce GPS-verified time cards.
You draw a virtual boundary — a geofence — around each construction job site on a map. When a worker's phone crosses that boundary, Workyard clocks them in automatically. Hours and drive time allocate to the correct job and cost code without manual entry. If someone clocks in while still driving, the system corrects to actual site arrival. Each construction site gets its own geofence, so crews moving between sites get hours split accurately.
Yes. GPS geofencing means construction employees can only clock in from inside a verified job-site boundary. Face detection is available across all clock-in modes — mobile, kiosk, and supervisor — so one worker can't punch in for another. Every clock event has a GPS audit trail that makes time cards defensible for labor disputes and compliance audits.
No. Workyard replaces portable construction time clocks and wall-mounted punch clocks with software that runs on devices your crew already has — iPhones, Android phones, or a shared iPad for the kiosk. There's no proprietary hardware to purchase, mount, wire, or maintain. No per-site installation. If you want a kiosk at the gate, any iPad works.
Yes. Workyard's construction site time clock works fully offline. GPS location is recorded locally on the device even without cell signal. Time cards, forms, and photos all sync the moment the phone or kiosk reconnects. No gaps in your construction time tracking data, even on remote sites.
Workyard is designed so the crew barely knows they're using it. With GPS auto-clock, construction employees don't have to remember to clock in — the system does it when they arrive. The app works in Spanish. It runs offline. There's nothing to figure out. Contractors who switched from paper or portable time clocks report that crew adoption is the easiest part because workers have less to do, not more.
Subcontractors can use the mobile app independently, be clocked in via supervisor mode by the GC's foreman, or tap in at a job-site kiosk. Hours are tracked separately and coded to the right job and cost code. You get full visibility into sub labor on your construction sites without requiring subs to change their own systems.
Yes. Workyard applies overtime rules, break requirements, and rounding policies automatically as construction employee hours are captured. The dashboard flags workers approaching overtime thresholds so you can reassign crews before costly overages hit. Every time card is GPS-verified with a full audit trail — defensible for prevailing wage, certified payroll, and labor compliance.
Yes. Verified, job-coded time cards from all three clock-in methods flow directly into QuickBooks (Online + Desktop), Sage Intacct, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Foundation, Spectrum, and 20+ other payroll and accounting systems. No re-keying, no CSV exports. Construction time tracking data goes from the job site to payroll without anyone touching it.
Traditional portable construction time clocks cost $200–$500 per device, plus per-site installation, and still require manual data entry. Workyard has no hardware cost — it runs on phones and iPads your crew already owns. Pricing scales by crew size with no long-term contract. A 14-day free trial with full feature access lets you measure the ROI before committing. No credit card required.
Every Workyard time card includes GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out locations, the job site and cost code, any supervisor edits (with who, when, and why), break records, and the original unmodified record. This audit trail makes construction time tracking defensible for prevailing wage verification, certified payroll, labor disputes, and compliance audits.
Most construction time clocks — physical or app-based — still rely on the crew to do the admin: clock in correctly, pick the right job, code hours, submit forms. Workyard automates all of it. GPS captures time automatically, cost codes attach by rule, errors are corrected before payroll, and verified data flows into 20+ systems. Customers typically recover 5–18% of payroll waste and save 12+ hours of admin weekly. 100,000+ construction workers use Workyard every day across 4,000+ contractors.
