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.

Martian Time Management: Simpler, Dumber, and Full of Red Dust

Howdy from Mars! Jax “The Martian” Murphy here, your foreman. We’re building the future, but getting everyone to clock in and out is the biggest project challenge we face. 

Forget your Earth problems. Here’s why time and attendance on the Red Planet is a cosmic headache: 

1. The “Clock In” Problem

It’s not just a time clock, it’s a full-on security nightmare. 

  • The Biometric Battle: We need a full eye and face scan to clock in. Why? Because last year, one guy tried to clock in his robotic drone, “Scooter,” for a full week of overtime, claiming it was doing “advanced sweeping.” Scooter got paid. We can’t let that happen again. 
  • Gravity Mess: Filling out a paper timesheet is impossible. The pen just floats away in the low gravity, the ink goes everywhere, and your signature looks like a panicked scribble. We tried magnetic pens, but now everyone’s tools are sticking to their paperwork. 
  • When is the Day? Is a workday 24 Earth hours, or the 24 hours and 39 minutes of a Martian Sol? Nobody agrees. So if you’re late, you just blame the extra 39 minutes. It works every time. 

2. Time Off is a Time Warp

Breaks and delays out here are not like on Earth. 

  • Nap Time in Space: Half the crew travels between projects in cryo-sleep. Do we count that as a break? Is dreaming about food a lunch hour? HR is still arguing about it. The paperwork is getting bigger than the habitat. 
  • The Sandstorm Excuse: If a dust storm hits (which is almost always), everything stops for weeks. Do you still get paid? Yes! But try explaining to the accountants back on Earth why your “Wall Erection Phase” took 70 days instead of five. They don’t understand that Mars just likes to take a really long time off. 

3. Smart Tech Makes Stupid Problems

We have the most advanced tech in the universe, and it mostly just annoys us. 

  • The AI Nagger: We tried strapping small AI drones to the crew to automatically track their work. They just got distracted by shiny rocks and spent their time arguing with the equipment. Now they just float around giving passive-aggressive advice. 
  • The Hologram HR: Our new HR representative is a hologram named “Brenda.” She can pop up anywhere instantly to discuss your time sheet. She’s great at being annoying and invisible, but terrible at actually solving problems. Her only real power is projecting a giant, angry emoji onto your helmet. 

We’re not just building a base; we’re trying to build a sensible time clock system. Wish us luck! 

Jax, Foreman, Sector 7. 

(P.S. If you need overtime, you need three forms, a witness, and a signed note from a space rock. It will be rejected.)
