INDUSTRY PLAYBOOK
Time tracking for construction crews
Foremen, sub trades, and rolling job sites — without the spreadsheet chaos at week's end.
Pain points every construction owner knows
These aren't hypothetical — they're the exact headaches that eat your Friday afternoons and make payroll week miserable.
- Workers move between three job sites in a day and punches lose context — you find out at payroll.
- Foremen need to see who's on which site right now, not at 6 PM when the crew has already left.
- Job costing falls apart when tasks are optional — you can't bill the GC for hours that aren't tagged.
- Paper time cards get lost, get fudged, or come back unreadable on Friday.
Features that fix it — mapped to your workflow
Every bullet below links to a feature page with full details, screenshots, and FAQ. Nothing vaporware — it's either live or on the 90-day roadmap.
Lock punches to a radius around the job trailer or lot. No more clock-ins from the truck stop.
Tag every punch to a job and cost code so labor rolls up cleanly to your GC invoice.
Basement, rural, parking deck — punches queue and sync when LTE comes back.
Shared tablet with PIN entry for crews without smartphones. Photo-on-clock-in stops buddy punching.
Monday-to-Friday in ShiftDeck
Here's what a typical week looks like for a construction shop running ShiftDeck. No theory — just the steps.
- Set up each active job site with an address and site boundary, takes 2 minutes per site.
- Publish the week's crew schedule with open shifts for fill-ins, push to everyone's phone.
- Crew clocks in by tapping a job — the live attendance board shows who's on which site in real time.
- Foremen approve exceptions through the week — missed clock-outs, off-site punches, edits.
- Friday morning: export payroll CSV, drop it into Gusto or QuickBooks, close the week.
