One entry, two jobs done
An hour logged in the field is both a payroll figure and a job cost. Recording it once, correctly, at the source is the single highest-leverage change most contractors can make.
Crews record hours the same day from the app, while they still remember what they did.
Every hour carries its project and cost centre, so labour cost is always allocated.
Site leads approve their crew’s hours; the office works from an approved, auditable set.
Overtime, leave and allowances applied by rule, then exported in the format payroll expects.
The phone in their pocket is the timesheet
A short tour of the RelayPlan app: work starting on site, the month adding itself up, and the other things a crew does from the same screen.
One tap when the crew arrives, another when they finish. The hours are recorded as the day happens, not remembered on Friday.
Every day listed against its project, with the running total at the top of the screen.
An entry can be edited by hand or sent back by the site lead with a reason. Nothing is quietly overwritten.
Due date, work location, who else is assigned, the description and any photographs.
Leave is requested from the phone, and the archive shows what was taken and what was approved.
Quantity, cost, supplier and mileage recorded against the machine, from where it is standing.
Free on both stores. No terminal, no badge reader, no hardware to buy.
Why construction time tracking usually goes wrong
Paper timesheets are filled in on Friday for a week nobody remembers precisely. Hours get rounded, allocations get guessed, and the number that reaches payroll is an estimate dressed up as a record. Job costing inherits the same error.
RelayPlan moves capture to the moment and place the work happens. The crew opens the app on site, confirms the project they were assigned to, and enters hours. The site lead approves, and that approved entry serves both payroll and job costing.
The result is not just cleaner payroll. Because labour is usually the largest cost on a job, accurate hours are what make budget-vs-actuals meaningful at all. Firms that fix time capture usually discover their real margins for the first time.
