The problem

The law says drive time is different from site time. Your timesheets don't know that.

When your crew reports to the yard at 6:30 and drives to a prevailing wage job site, that drive time must be paid at the prevailing wage rate. But when they drive from a PW job to a private job? That is regular rate. And the drive home from a private job? Probably not compensable at all.

If your timesheets don't split this correctly, one of two things is happening. Either you are overpaying by thousands per month, or you are underpaying and exposed to a DOL audit that could cost you six figures.

The DOL does not care that your foreman "keeps track of it in his head."

The math

How much is misclassified drive time costing you?

Based on a $15/hr average prevailing wage differential and 45 minutes of misclassified drive time per worker per day.

15 workers35%$1,299$15,592

That is money leaving your business every month for a problem a system solves in seconds.

How it works

Four taps. The math does itself.

  1. 1

    Clock in at the yard

    Worker opens the app and taps Clock In. The app grabs their coordinates. That is it.

  2. 2

    Check in at the job site

    When they arrive on site, they tap Check In. The app records their location and the job name. Drive time is now separated from site time.

  3. 3

    System splits the time

    The app knows which jobs are prevailing wage and which are not. Drive time, site time, and breaks are each tagged with the correct rate automatically.

  4. 4

    Export for payroll

    End of the week, your admin clicks Export. Every hour is broken out by employee, job, rate type, and overtime. Ready for your payroll person.

Is this for you?

Built for a specific kind of contractor.

This is for you
  • You have 8 to 50+ field employees
  • At least 20% of your work is prevailing wage or Davis-Bacon
  • You currently track time on paper, spreadsheets, or a tool that doesn't split drive time
  • You want to stop overpaying or stop risking an audit
Not the right fit
  • You don't do any public or prevailing wage work
  • You have fewer than 5 employees
  • You already have a system that correctly splits drive time from site time
