Managing a mobile workforce comes with unique challenges – especially when it comes to tracking time accurately and efficiently. Whether your team is on the road visiting clients, working on job sites, or out in the field, traditional timekeeping methods like paper timesheets or stationary systems just don’t cut it.
That’s where the Payworks Self Service App comes in. With features like GPS-enabled Web Time punches and on-the-go Timesheet submissions, your employees can easily log their hours from anywhere…and you get clean, accurate time data that flows directly into payroll.
Let’s explore how the App helps you stay on top of time tracking, reduce errors, and make payroll a breeze.
Web Time: Fast, accurate punches anywhere your team goes
With Web Time, employees can clock in and out for shifts and breaks directly from their mobile device – a simple tap is all it takes! They can also add key details like job position, department, or shift notes, giving you more context and clarity when reviewing hours.
For mobile teams who move between locations throughout the day (like home care providers, field technicians, or construction crews), Web Time includes the option to capture GPS location data at the time of punch. That means added visibility and peace of mind for managers who need to confirm where and when work is happening.
And thanks to secure biometric login options, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, employees can punch in quickly and confidently (no passwords or PINs to remember). Best of all, every punch flows directly into the Payworks Payroll solution, cutting down on manual entry, reducing errors, and saving time for everyone involved.
Timesheets: Flexible time entry at your team’s fingertips
For employees who need even more flexibility in how they log their hours, Timesheets offer a simple, mobile-friendly way to enter and submit time data. Whether it’s before a shift, after wrapping up for the day, or at the end of the week, employees can record their working hours when it makes the most sense for them and for your business.
In addition to logging the start/end times and total hours worked in between, employees can include important details by selecting their earning type, position, and department – all directly from the App. This added level of detail helps ensure your payroll is accurate and reflects the specifics of each employee’s role.
Timesheets also give employees full visibility into their submitted time entries by day, week, pay period, or any custom range. That means fewer questions about what hours they worked, what’s been approved, or what to expect on their next pay stub; this saves you time and reduces unnecessary back-and-forth communication.
And just like with Web Time, all timesheet data flows automatically into Payroll for fast, accurate, and hassle-free processing.
