Hourly and field teams
Field technicians, support staff and other hourly teams are paid from their timesheets. Time is often captured on a phone away from a signal, daily limits and overtime thresholds apply, and payroll depends on approved, locked hours each pay period.
How Time Tracking is set up for you
Mobile capture offline
Entries queue on the phone and sync on reconnect.
Daily and weekly limits
Policies cap daily hours and set the weekly overtime threshold, with violations recorded.
Exempt and non-exempt staff
Assign policies by classification and state of work.
Payroll by pay period
Locked entries are bundled per person at each period end.
Field technicians, support staff and other hourly teams are paid from their timesheets. Time is often captured on a phone away from a signal, daily limits and overtime thresholds apply, and payroll depends on approved, locked hours each pay period.
Start with one hourly team on one pay calendar. Assign policies, roll out mobile entry and run two pay periods through approval, lock and payroll export. Reconcile the bundles with payroll before adding teams.
