How Do I Track Worker Attendance and Hours on Each Site?
To track worker attendance and hours on each site, record who is on each site every day with start and end times, link hours to the project and phase, and calculate labor costs per project from those records.
In Jestor, site managers record attendance on mobile, and hours flow into project cost dashboards.
Why are site hours hard to control?
Workers move between sites, arrive at different times and subcontractors bring their own crews. Paper timesheets are filled in at the end of the week.
Hours are charged to the wrong project, and labor costs per job are unknown.
Disputes about hours worked are hard to resolve.
What problems does attendance tracking solve?
- Timesheets filled in from memory
- Hours charged to the wrong project
- Unknown labor cost per phase
- Disputes about hours worked
- No view of who is on site for safety

How does attendance support safety?
A daily list of who is on each site helps in emergencies and visitor control.
It also shows whether the right trades were present for planned work.
