The JobClock System will be able to free you of this error-prone time keeping system with portable time clocks that allow employees to clock in and out on the job site. Trying to remember all this leads to obvious errors in time keeping, especially when your employees have multiple landscaping jobsites. It is difficult to recall the minute you walked into the office, or when you took your break yesterday, much less for an entire week. Your crew says they were at the first job at 7:00am, but how do you know for sure? How can you prove to your clients that your crew was on the job when and where they should be? Furthermore, trying to read those timesheets can sometimes be a job all in itself. With nowhere to set up a traditional punch clock, the traditional solution has been for employees to fill out time sheets by hand, with this usually happening at the end of the week instead of daily. Unlike most businesses, landscaping and grounds maintenance employees spend little to no time in the actual offices of the firm, making time tracking difficult for both employee and employer.
Labor is also the expense that many contractors feel they have virtually no control over. For landscape, grounds maintenance and snow removal businesses, labor is one of the largest operating expenses.
