Timecard
Clock-in that actually clocks in
GPS-verified field timecards with cost-code tagging, foreman-led crew punches, and OT math your payroll team will stop fighting with. Works offline. Syncs the second the truck rolls into reception.
Most timecard apps were built by people who've never lost a Friday to a payroll dispute
Hours go missing. The crew swears they were there. The foreman thinks he punched them in. Payroll's closing in two hours. Somebody's wrong, and nobody can prove it.
FluidCM Timecard solves that with a single mechanism: every punch is signed in time, location, and (optionally) image. When something's disputed, the truth is right there.
And the cost-code piece is bigger than people realize. If hours don't hit the right line item at the source, your WIP is wrong, your earned-value is wrong, and your draw request is wrong. Field-first cost coding fixes that one decision at a time.
Time saved on Friday afternoon: about half of one. Stress saved: harder to measure but you'll feel it.
What's in the box
GPS-verified clock-in
Geofence the job site once. Clock-ins outside the perimeter get flagged before they hit payroll. No more buddy punching.
Cost code + phase tagging
Hours land on the right line item from the start. Project, phase, and CSI cost code chosen at clock-in — not reconciled by an admin two weeks later.
Foreman-to-crew hierarchy
Foremen punch their crews in and out. Crew composition, roles, and overrides all tracked. The reporting matches the way crews actually work.
Photo verification
Optional selfie or site photo on clock-in. End the dispute about whether someone was actually there. Stored alongside the entry.
Regular, OT, and double-OT, computed
California-aware OT math (8/12 daily thresholds, 7th day rules) runs automatically. Configurable for state and union rules. Audit trail on every change.
Manager approval workflow
Each timecard moves through draft → submitted → approved → exported. Reject with a comment, and the foreman gets a push notification before he leaves the site.
The old way vs. the way the field actually works
Paper, Excel, or a 2007-era enterprise platform written for office workers. None of it survives a Tuesday.
Paper / Excel / Procore
Lossy, late, and disputed
FluidCM Timecard
Verified, live, and cost-coded
A morning with FluidCM Timecard
Five steps from the truck door to a clean payroll batch.
Foreman pulls into the site
Phone detects the geofence. App suggests the active project. Foreman confirms.
Crew clocks in together
Foreman punches in five framers. Each entry stamps GPS, cost code (Framing Phase 2), and an optional selfie.
Phase change
Crew shifts to deck blocking. Foreman switches their cost code in two taps. Everything before stays attributed correctly.
Punch out
Auto-prompt nudges anyone past their scheduled hours. OT pre-calculated and shown before submit.
Payroll closes 90 minutes early
PM approves the week in one screen. Export to QBO / Sage / Foundation. No reconciliation.
