The construction industry is complex and presents unique challenges for managers across business areas. Employee timekeeping can be a challenge in construction for several reasons. Here are some of the ones we have heard most often.
Time Tracking For Construction & Contractors
Remote Job Site Management and Time Tracking present significant difficulties. Workers are sent to differing job sites, usually a good distance away from company headquarters. This makes tracking working hours incredibly difficult without a standardized solution in place across job sites.
Construction Time Tracking Challenges
Juggling Job Sites
In addition to remote site locations, most construction companies will be managing several job sites at once. As workers often times move from site to site throughout the week, this presents another unique challenge to tracking both time and attendance.
​
Piles of Paper Work
Employee time tracking for construction companies also comes with a great deal of time-consuming paperwork. Paper-Based attendance or time-tracking systems are prone to errors and require a great deal of administrative work that is likely energy better spent elsewhere.
​
Overtime Overload
But more than anything - construction workers tend to work long hours. Overtime can quickly complicate time-tracking processes and when handled incorrectly, can result in serious compliance issues.

Legal Landslides
Speaking of compliance, the construction industry rightfully has various regulations such as labor laws, union agreements, and more that vary from state to state and country to country. This further complicates timekeeping and makes having a mobile app time tracking solution a layer of insurance for those working to keep a construction company in good standing.
