Geofencing Time Clock for Construction Companies
Verify jobsite punches, improve time visibility, and protect payroll accuracy.
Implement the geofencing time clock construction teams rely on to reduce time theft and messy timesheet corrections. mJobTime combines a mobile time clock with gps tracking so employee time is only captured when a worker is inside the correct geofenced area at the right job site. That means cleaner geofencing time tracking across multiple job sites and more reliable construction time tracking for your workforce.
Built for contractors managing changing work locations who need accurate time tracking, cleaner approvals, and fewer payroll disputes.
Why Construction Companies Use a Geofencing Time Clock
When crews move across construction sites and changing work locations, verifying time is hard. Manual timesheets and traditional clocks don’t confirm where a punch happened—leading to disputes, edits, and payroll delays. A geofencing time clock adds verification so you get reliable time visibility across the field.
Common Sources of Time Theft
- ✓Buddy punching or shared devices that create unverified punches.
- ✓Off-site clock-ins that inflate work hours and distort job costing.
- ✓Late timesheets that force office staff to guess and re-enter time.
- ✓Multiple job sites without clean transfers that misallocate labor hours.
Cleaner approvals
Reduced processing time
Higher job site efficiency
How Geofencing Time Tracking Works
Geofencing time uses GPS coordinates to create a virtual boundary around each jobsite. When a worker clocks in using the mobile time clock, the system checks their location tracking. If they’re inside the geofenced area, the punch is accepted and stored with location data for reporting.
Step-by-Step
- ✓Draw the geofence for each job site (even complex perimeters).
- ✓Workers punch in/out; the system captures time + GPS tracking.
- ✓Verify automatically that the punch occurred in the right location.
- ✓Allocate labor hours to the correct project for job costing.
- ✓Approve & export the timesheet via payroll integration.

Multiple Job Sites Without the Timesheet Chaos
When crews jump between multiple job sites, traditional tracking breaks down. With mJobTime, each jobsite can have its own geofenced area so you can capture time on the right job and keep reporting clean across construction sites.
Better Time Visibility, Better Decisions
Verified location-based punches improve construction time tracking, help allocate labor hours correctly, and strengthen jobsite accountability across all work locations.
- ✓Cleaner transfers between projects
- ✓Less admin time reconciling work hours
- ✓Stronger job site efficiency reporting
Payroll Integration That Improves Payroll Accuracy
Verified punches reduce edits, disputes, and re-entry. With payroll integration, approved time exports cleanly to reduce payroll processing time and strengthen payroll accuracy across the workforce.
Reduce Payroll Processing Time
When time is captured and verified at the jobsite, office staff spends less time fixing issues and more time closing payroll.
- ✓Fewer manual corrections
- ✓Faster approvals
- ✓Cleaner timesheets
Control Overtime & Work Hours
With accurate time tracking, overtime totals are easier to manage and validate, reducing costly surprises.
- ✓Better overtime visibility
- ✓More reliable labor hours
- ✓Improved payroll accuracy
Payroll
Cleaner exports improve payroll processing time.
Workforce
Better workforce management across job sites.
Projects
Accurate construction time by job and location.
Tools
Field-ready tools for contractors and workers.
Geofencing Time Clock vs Traditional Time Clock
A traditional clock can’t confirm where time was recorded. Geofencing provides verification and better visibility—especially for construction companies operating across multiple job sites.
| Traditional Time Clock / Manual Timesheet | mJobTime Geofencing Time Tracking |
|---|---|
| Manual entries lead to errors and late approvals. | Verified punches improve time visibility and reduce corrections. |
| No proof of jobsite location for a punch. | GPS tracking captures the location at the moment of the time clock event. |
| Higher time theft risk (buddy punching, off-site punches). | Geofenced area validation helps prevent time theft. |
| Long payroll closeouts and re-entry work. | Payroll integration reduces payroll processing time and improves payroll accuracy. |
| Hard to manage multiple job sites consistently. | Designed for contractors managing multiple work locations. |
Geofencing FAQs
Quick answers about geofencing for construction, privacy, and how to use it across job sites.
What is geofencing for construction?
Geofencing for construction uses geofencing technology to create a virtual perimeter around a jobsite. It helps ensure employee time is only recorded when workers are at the correct work locations, improving time visibility and reducing off-site time clock entries.
How does a geofencing time clock improve construction payroll?
Verified punches reduce disputes and corrections. With payroll integration, approved time exports cleanly—improving payroll accuracy and reducing payroll processing time.
Does geofencing track my employees all day?
Many teams use settings that capture location tracking at punch events (clock-in/clock-out/breaks/transfers), not continuous tracking. This supports privacy while maintaining accurate time tracking.
Can I use this on multiple job sites?
Yes. Create a unique geofenced area for each job site. This makes construction time tracking more accurate and keeps each timesheet aligned to the right project.
Is this built for contractors and construction companies?
Yes. mJobTime is built for contractors and field teams who need reliable time tracking across construction sites, changing work locations, and mobile workers.
