The problem
Your timesheets are costing you money.
$259M
in back wages recovered by DOL in 2025
$13,508
per violation in civil penalties

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

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

Questions
Common questions
Will my crew actually use this?+
The app is four buttons: Clock In, Check In, Break, Clock Out. No training manual. No complicated menus. If they can use a text message, they can use this.
What if someone forgets to clock in or check in?+
The admin dashboard flags missing events. Your office manager reviews time cards before exporting, the same way they would review paper timesheets. The difference is the data is GPS-verified instead of hand-written.
Does it work offline or in areas with bad signal?+
Clock events are saved locally on the phone and sync when signal returns. Your crew does not need perfect cell service on every job site.
How does overtime work across mixed PW and non-PW hours?+
The system calculates blended overtime across all hours in the day and week, applying the correct rates based on which jobs were prevailing wage and which were not. This is the calculation that breaks most spreadsheets.
What do we get in the payroll export?+
A clean CSV broken out by employee, job, rate classification (prevailing wage or regular), regular hours, overtime hours, and applicable rate. Your payroll person plugs it straight into their system.
Is this a subscription?+
No. One-time purchase. You own the app and all the data. No per-seat fees, no monthly charges, no price increases. Compare that to $200 or more per month for competing tools.
