# Construction workforce management software

TramitApp is construction time and attendance software that lets your operatives clock in **on site** from their phone, WhatsApp or a tablet. The **working time record** is ready for the Spanish Labour Inspectorate, along with the rest of your construction company's HR: overtime, holidays, payroll and paperwork.

## Time and attendance on site, without going to the office

The issues builders, trades and refurbishment companies raise most often:operatives who never go to the office, clocking in on paper or in a chat group, and worries about inspections.

### Clocking in on site with geolocation

-   Each site is set up as a **location with its radius** (from 50 metres), and in the analytics you see the clock-ins for each site.
-   The **coordinates are saved when clocking in**, with no tracking during the day.
-   You can **block clocking in without GPS** and let anyone who moves from site to site clock in from anywhere.
-   Anyone who doesn't want to install the app clocks in via **WhatsApp or Telegram**: the assistant asks for their location if it's missing.
-   And in the site cabin, a **kiosk tablet**: it's the only channel that clocks in offline when there's no signal on site.

## Which clocking-in channel suits each site?

TramitApp offers **five clocking-in channels** (mobile app, web, kiosk, WhatsApp and Telegram) and each company enables the ones it wants by workplace or by worker.

| Channel | Where they clock in | Offline |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mobile app | On site, with GPS and each site's radius | No: it needs data or Wi-Fi |
| Kiosk | Tablet in the site cabin: PIN, national ID number, NFC card, QR code or facial recognition | Yes: it clocks in offline and syncs when the connection is back (not switched on by default) |
| WhatsApp or Telegram | From the chat, with no app to install; it asks for the location if it's missing | No |
| Web | From the browser: office-based staff and site managers | No |

## Everything ready if the Spanish Labour Inspectorate calls

*Working time reports for the Spanish Labour Inspectorate: full time and attendance record, report for workers' legal representatives and certificate of the clocking-in system*

### Every clock-in, with its time and location

-   Every clock-in and clock-out is recorded in TramitApp's [time and attendance](https://www.tramitapp.com/clocking-in-system/) with its **time and location**, and you see it on the dashboard straight away.
-   If someone corrects a clock-in, it's marked as **manual, with its reason**, and can be audited.
-   You download the **full time and attendance record**, the **report for workers' legal representatives** and the **PDF certificate** of the clocking-in system.
-   If someone forgets to clock out, their day is **closed automatically** the next day, according to the rule you set.

## HR software for construction companies: hours, payroll and holidays

As well as clocking in, TramitApp is complete [HR software](https://www.tramitapp.com/hr-software/) for both site and office staff.

*This month's hours by site, with each site's approved overtime and its compensation in the hours bank*

### Hours by site and overtime

-   Each site can be a **project**: the operative picks it when clocking in (you can make it mandatory) and you know **how many hours have gone into each site**.
-   Overtime by **day, night and bank holiday**, with its approval and the site it belongs to.
-   You decide whether it's paid or **compensated through an hours bank**, or part of each.
-   **Clocking-in analytics** can be filtered by site, location or team: hours, overtime, late arrivals and compliance.

### Payslips on the phone and documents signed on site

-   **Payslips** reach each operative's phone as soon as they're published: nobody has to go to the site to hand them out.
-   Contracts, annexes and **health and safety paperwork** are signed from the phone, one by one or with **bulk signature** for the whole crew.
-   Every document is stored in the employee file, with an **expiry alert** for health and safety and training documents.
-   You onboard a whole crew in one go with **bulk import**, and then you launch their onboarding process.

*Holiday, leave and sick leave requested from the phone, and the August shutdown assigned to the whole workforce*

### Holiday and absences for the crew

-   Each operative requests **holiday, leave or sick leave** from their phone, with the supporting document as a photo.
-   Holiday policies and a **working calendar by location**, each with its own local bank holidays.
-   **Bulk assignment** of holiday for the August or Christmas shutdown.
-   The site manager sees on the rota **who is on holiday or off sick** each day.

## Frequently asked questions about time and attendance software for construction

### How do workers clock in on site with TramitApp?

From their phone with the TramitApp app, via WhatsApp or Telegram, or at a **kiosk**: a tablet in the site cabin that identifies staff by PIN, national ID number, NFC card, QR code or facial recognition. Each site is set up with its location and a **radius**, and in the analytics you see the clock-ins for each site. You enable the channels you want by workplace or by person.

### Can you clock in on a site with no signal?

Yes, with the kiosk: the site cabin tablet can **clock in offline** and syncs the clock-ins as soon as the connection is back; it's an option that isn't switched on by default. The mobile app, the web, WhatsApp and Telegram do need a connection to clock in.

### Does geolocation track operatives throughout the day?

No. TramitApp only saves the **coordinates at the moment of clocking** in and out; there's no tracking during the day. You can block clocking in when GPS isn't on and let anyone who moves from site to site clock in from anywhere.

### What do I hand over if the Spanish Labour Inspectorate asks for the working time record?

You download it from TramitApp: the **full time and attendance record**, the report for workers' legal representatives and the PDF certificate of the clocking-in system. Every corrected clock-in is marked as manual, with its reason, so you can see what was changed and why. If you have questions about your specific obligations under Spanish law, check them with your employment adviser.

### Can I see how many hours each operative spends on each site?

Yes. If you set up each site as a **project**, the operative picks it when clocking in (you can make it mandatory) and their hours, overtime included, are allocated to that site. In clocking-in analytics you filter by site, location or team, and decide whether overtime is paid or compensated through an hours bank.
