Time management

A shared time ledger that actually feeds the business.

Time is not a siloed timesheet app. In CTM OS it is the operational spine for job cost, payroll export, utilization, and prevailing-wage compliance.

What gets captured

  • Clock-in / clock-out with geofence options
  • Job, work order, and cost code
  • Regular, OT, double-time, travel, shop, training
  • Crew vs individual punches
  • Breaks and unpaid time rules
  • Per diem and reimbursable flags
  • Notes, photos, and exception reasons
  • Supervisor review and bulk approve

Consumers of the ledger

One entry can satisfy multiple downstream needs without retyping hours into three systems.

✓Job cost — labor dollars roll to WBS / cost codes in near real time after approval.
✓Payroll — export batches by pay period, employee, and earning type.
✓Prevailing wage — classify hours for certified payroll packages.
✓Scheduling — actuals improve future crew load planning.
✓Analytics — utilization, OT burn, and margin leakage alerts.
