Clocking In and Out

Buildero's time tracking lets your crew clock in and out from the job site using their phone. GPS verification ensures hours are logged accurately from the right location.

How Workers Clock In

Workers access Buildero from any browser on their phone — no app download required. Here's the process:

1. Worker opens Buildero and logs in with their account
2. On the Time screen, they tap Clock In
3. They select the Project they're working on
4. They select their Role for this shift (e.g., Laborer, Foreman, Operator)
5. They tap Confirm Clock In

Buildero captures the GPS coordinates at the moment of clock-in and compares them to the project address.

GPS Location Verification

When GPS is enabled, Buildero checks whether the worker is within the allowed radius of the job site (configurable in Settings > Time Tracking, default is 500 feet).

• Green checkmark — worker is within range, clock-in is approved
• Yellow warning — worker is outside range but can still clock in; you'll see a flag on the time entry for review
• Location disabled — if a worker has location access turned off, the clock-in records without GPS data and shows a flag

You can require GPS for all clock-ins in your account settings.

Clocking Out

When the shift ends, the worker:

1. Taps Clock Out on the Time screen
2. Optionally adds a Note (e.g., "poured foundation, waiting for inspection")
3. Confirms clock-out

The time entry is created with start time, end time, total duration, and GPS coordinates for both events.

Clocking In for Your Crew (Admin)

Owners, Admins, and Foremans can clock in crew members on their behalf:

1. Go to Time > Log Entry
2. Select the worker, project, date, and start/end times
3. Click Save Entry

This is useful when a worker forgets to clock in or when logging historical hours.

Reviewing Your Own Hours

Workers can view their own time history under My Time — useful for confirming hours before payroll.
