$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 app replaces paper time sheets, spreadsheets, and manual clock-ins with timekeeping software that captures hours automatically. Workyard goes further — GPS verifies every clock-in, codes hours to the right job and cost code, corrects errors before payroll, and syncs verified time cards and time sheets to 20+ payroll systems. It works as a mobile time clock on phones, a job-site kiosk on a shared iPad, or in supervisor mode from a foreman’s device.
Workyard is purpose-built for contractors with field crews — not a generic time tracker retrofitted for construction. Time captures automatically by GPS, errors are corrected before they hit payroll, and verified hours flow straight into Sage, QuickBooks, ADP, and 20+ payroll systems. The construction timekeeping software handles everything from time entry and time sheets to labor tracking and productivity reporting. Customers typically recover 5–18% of payroll waste and save 12+ hours of admin weekly. 100,000+ workers use Workyard every day.
Both. Workyard is a full construction time keeping system — not just a phone app. It includes a mobile time clock (iPhone and Android), a job-site kiosk on a shared iPad, supervisor mode for foremen, plus a web dashboard for the office. Time sheet software, time entry, labor tracking, and payroll sync are all built in. Whether you call it a construction timecard app, timekeeping software, or time tracking system — it’s all one platform.
You set a geofence around each job site. When a worker’s phone crosses that boundary, Workyard clocks them in automatically — no manual time entry required. Hours and drive time are allocated to the correct job and cost code. If someone clocks in while still driving, the system corrects to actual site arrival. GPS records location only at clock-in and clock-out, not continuously — workers aren’t tracked when they’re off the clock.
Yes. GPS geofencing means workers can only clock in from inside a verified job-site boundary. Face detection adds a second layer across all clock-in modes — mobile app, kiosk, and supervisor. Workyard’s audit trail makes every construction time card defensible to the minute.
Yes. Workyard works for independent contractors, tradesmen, and small crews just as well as large operations. Solo contractors get GPS-verified time tracking tied to each job for accurate invoicing. Subcontractors can use the app independently or be clocked in via supervisor mode by the GC’s foreman. The same construction timesheet app scales from a one-person tradesman operation to a 500+ employee contractor.
Yes. Workyard handles heavy construction, civil, and commercial job sites with large crews and mixed trades. Supervisor mode lets one foreman clock in an entire crew. The kiosk handles high-volume gate entry. GPS geofences work on sprawling civil sites. Labor tracking and time reporting work across unlimited job sites, cost codes, and crews simultaneously.
Workyard offers a 14-day free trial with full feature access — no credit card required. After the trial, pricing scales based on crew size. There’s no long-term contract required. For teams evaluating free construction time clock apps, the trial gives you full access to GPS auto-clock, kiosk mode, supervisor mode, and all integrations so you can measure the ROI before committing.
Yes. Workyard is construction labor tracking software, not just a time clock. Every hour is coded to a job and cost code automatically, giving you real-time visibility into labor costs per project. You can track productivity by comparing estimated vs. actual hours, monitor crew allocation across sites, and generate labor reports. Construction time reporting flows into your accounting system automatically.
Yes. Verified construction time sheets flow directly into QuickBooks (Online + Desktop), Sage Intacct, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Paylocity, Foundation, Spectrum, Deltek ComputerEase, and 20+ other payroll and accounting systems. No re-keying, no CSV exports. The construction payroll app connects your jobsite time tracker to your back office automatically.
Workyard applies overtime and break rules automatically as hours are captured. The dashboard flags when workers approach overtime thresholds so you can reassign crews before costly overages hit. Automatic time entry eliminates the rounded hours and forgotten clock-outs that inflate payroll. Customers typically cut 5–18% from labor costs by eliminating time theft and timesheet padding.
Yes. Office admins and supervisors can adjust time entries when needed — but every edit is logged with who changed it, when, and why. The original GPS-verified record is preserved. This audit trail makes construction time cards defensible for prevailing wage, certified payroll, and labor compliance. No edits happen silently.
Yes. Workyard’s mobile time tracking works fully offline on construction sites with no signal. Crews can clock in, submit daily time sheets, capture forms, and log expenses. Everything syncs automatically the moment the phone reconnects. The job-site kiosk also works offline if the trailer has no Wi-Fi.
Workyard handles unlimited job sites, crews, and cost codes. Each site gets its own geofence. Hours automatically allocate to the right project as construction workers move between sites. The dashboard gives you real-time visibility into every active job — who’s on site, how many hours logged, and what it’s costing. Construction employee time tracking works whether you have 5 workers or 500.
