Custom Time Clock Software: Mobile Solutions for the Construction Industry

Gain Added Efficiency By Customizing Your Mobile Time Clock Software

Tailoring mJobTime’s Custom Time Clock Software To Meet The Special Needs of Your Business

At mJobTime, we have focused on giving our customers a large number of configuration options to make our application as flexible as possible. However, software programs are designed to accommodate the maximum number of companies possible. We realize that there are going to be situations where mJobTime may not address certain facets of your business processes, but we ultimately strive to provide employee time clock solutions that will be unique to every business.

We look upon these situations as opportunities. This is because we love to get input from our customers about our time clocks for construction as well as our other software. Many times, this input can lead to a new feature or functionality that becomes a standard part of the program. Oftentimes, when the amount of work and time involved is not significant, we will do the work at no charge. Even in those situations where there is a substantial amount of resources required to do the work, if we feel it will improve the product, we often will share the cost of the modification with the customer. In those situations where the customization is very unique to a customer, we will provide a quote for the work and allow the customer to make their own decision.

Whatever the case, our development team has earned quite a reputation for doing outstanding work in a reasonable time period. They will work with you to get a detailed understanding of your needs, propose a solution, develop and test the solution, and follow-up to insure that our employee time clock solutions are working as intended once released. Our customers constantly rave about the amount of time we have saved them with our modifications. Usually, the ROI on our customizations is very short.

Whether it’s a special report or a very specific way to calculate travel or per diem pay, our crackerjack development staff is always ready to meet your custom modification challenges. They thrive on being able to make mJobTime (and our time clocks for construction) meet even your most stringent and unique requirements.

    • Day or night shift per crew
    • Craft code per employee
    • Alternate employee ID per employee
    • Per diem code per employee
    • Travel code per employee
  • Modify the export to accounting to create a text file export and add special calculations described below:
    • Specifications
    • A maximum of 40 hours per week will be exported for salaried employees
      • Salaried employees will be identified by a field in the employee table.
      • Time records beyond the 40 hour limit will remain in mJobTime and will be flagged as “exported”.
    • For time records that include task codes beginning with “41” populate the “GL Exp Acct” field as follows:
      • The second segment of the task code
      • Followed by the employee’s department number (two-digit-zero-filled)
      • The employee’s dept number will be pulled from a field in the employee table Examples: “500503”, “500603”
  • Develop a custom version of the “Daily Time Sheet Entry by Employee” screen:
    • To include a five-row header,
    • Make the Job Number column header span all columns for the same job.
    • As new columns are added, insert them into the grid sorted in ascending order by Job Number, then by the last five digits of the Cost Code, then by Extra.
    • Remove color shading of alternate rows in grid and add a solid line between rows
    • Shade “REG”, “OVT”, and “DBL” columns in White/Lt Blue/Dark Blue
    • Increase allowable distribution columns to 30
    • Divide the “Total” column into “REG”, “OVT”, and “DBL” sub-columns and display the appropriate totals for each row broken down into the three Pay IDs.

Green Solutions In Road Construction

According to the Industrial Resources Council, over 300 million scrap tires are generated annually of which almost 40 million end-up in landfills each year.  This is in addition to about 180 million tires in stockpiles. The three major markets for scrap tires are: fuel, civil engineering applications, and ground rubber.  Of the three, tire derived fuel(TDF) is by far the largest market with users including cement kilns, pulp and paper mills, electric utilities, and industrial facilities. TDF is popular because the energy provided by tires is comparable to that of oil and greater than that of coal, plus tires are low in sulphur and NOx gas emissions.

However, the use of shredded scrap tires, also referred to as tire-derived aggregate(TDA),  and rubberized asphalt concrete(RAC), is showing great potential for road construction applications as well as a way to divert a significant number of tires.  TDA has ideal properties for civil engineering use, is generally a low cost option, and can use large-scale numbers of scrap tires. RAC, which is made by blending ground tire rubber with asphalt to produce a binder and then mixed with conventional aggregate materials, has many of the same advantages.  It is cost effective, durable, safe, quiet, and environmentally friendly.
Among the uses that have been found for TDA are slope stabilization, retaining wall backfill, lightweight embankment fill, vibration mitigation, various landfill applications, and more.
The California Department of Transportation(Caltrans) first used TDA to successfully repair sections of Highway 101 in Mendocino County in 2009. TDA was used because of its lightweight properties and low cost. It saved Caltrans $320,000, and in the process, used about 270,000 scrap tires. Meanwhile, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has partnered with local governments to successfully use TDA on landslide highway repair projects in Mendocino and other counties.
The state of Arizona has had excellent success with RAC. The number of RAC projects has increased from 1 in 1988  to 54 in 2000 and have used over 14 million scrap tires in the process. Using RAC means that much less material is used than would be typically required of conventional asphalt material making it exceptionally cost effective. Ongoing road maintenance is also reduced because RAC lasts longer – often 50% longer. On top of all that, RAC reduces noise. Research has shown that noise can be reduced as much as 85 percent in some instances. RAC also provides better traction and visibility in wet weather making the roads safer to drive on. Finally, RAC is environmentally friendly. A one-mile section of four-lane highway using RAC will result in 8,000 scrap tires not going to landfills!
For heavy/highway contractors, if saving money and helping the environment warm your cockles, you might want to explore these options in the near future.
