CMiC’s new CONSTRUCT Check-In app enables your field staff to punch in their time and provides team leads the ability to be compliant through accurate time entry. This app provides visibility so that managers can easily view who clocked in and out during each shift. Foremen can view labor activities such as active and non-active hours in live logs and will have full control to make any adjustments for punch-in time. The check-in hours are automatically populated in CMiC Crew Time, which allows them to allocate appropriate cost codes to manage their budgets effectively. It also provides them to access timesheet data for all their crews, all in one place. With CONSTRUCT Check-In: • Team managers can track hours, breaks, overtime, and paid time off • Field staff can clock in and out using their PIN • Team leads can manage labor leakage by preventing early clock-ins and using auto clock-outs
