How it works

From signup to first use in 60 seconds.

Every employee gets a 4-digit PIN scoped to their phone or to a shared kiosk tablet on-site. On arrival at the jobsite they tap "Clock In," select the job they're working on, and the timer starts. GPS coordinates are captured at that moment as proof of location.

During the day, employees can switch between jobs (the timesheet treats this as ending one entry and starting another, with the location stamped on each), take meal breaks, and add notes. At end of day they tap "Clock Out" — GPS captures the location again, and the entry is complete.

Office managers see live attendance throughout the day, review timesheets at end of week, and approve or reject entries with notes back to the crew. Approved hours roll up into a payroll summary with regular, OT, and double-time hours separated by your configured rules. Export to CSV for QuickBooks Online, Gusto, ADP, or any other payroll processor.

Who it's built for

Which trades get the most out of this.

Roofing crews

GPS proof matters when an insurance adjuster questions whether the crew was actually on the roof for 8 hours.

HVAC service techs

Drive time vs job time tracked separately; OT rules apply automatically; customer billing by tech is clean.

Electrical contractors

Hours per job for accurate cost allocation; trade-tagged time entries for downstream payroll exports.

Plumbing service

Service-call dispatch with on-site GPS confirmation; emergency/after-hours rates trigger automatically.

General contractors

Multi-trade crew tracking on the same job; sub time goes into the sub portal, your crew time stays in yours.

Landscapers

Route-based crews clocking in at multiple properties per day; GPS proof of service for billing disputes.

Why it matters

The hidden cost of not having this.

Paper timesheets and verbal honor-system clock-ins are the most expensive ways to run payroll. The average construction company loses 4-6% of payroll to time theft (industry surveys put the number higher for non-GPS shops). A 10-person crew at $35/hour for 40 hours/week is $14,000/week — losing 4% to inflated hours is $30,000/year out the door.

Beyond the dollar leakage, paper timesheets are evidence-of-nothing in a dispute. When an employee claims unpaid hours and the only record is a smudged spreadsheet, the contractor loses every wage-and-hour case. GPS-verified clock-in with audit trail flips that dynamic — the contemporaneous, location-stamped record is the strongest possible evidence in DOL audits and Fair Labor Standards Act disputes.

And then there's payroll itself. The hour you spend every Sunday reconciling spreadsheets, chasing missing hours, and arguing with crew about Tuesday morning — that's the most expensive hour of your week. Vexor pulls payroll-ready data automatically. Friday afternoon you click "approve all," Saturday morning your accountant has clean hours.

Comparing time-tracking tools?

QuickBooks Time, Connecteam, and Buddy Punch are common alternatives. The trade-off: those tools do time tracking only. Vexor does time tracking AND the rest of the contractor workflow (quotes, jobs, JSA, invoicing) — usually for less than QuickBooks Time alone.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Does Vexor work for crews that bounce between jobsites?

Yes — that's the most common shape. Crew clocks in when they arrive at the first job, switches jobs in-app when they move (with GPS proof of each location), clocks out at end of day. The timesheet shows hours broken out by job for clean cost attribution.

What about prevailing-wage projects?

Hours capture cleanly with the trade/role tagged on each entry. Certified payroll reporting (WH-347 federal, state equivalents) is not generated natively — you export the hours data and feed it to a separate certified-payroll tool. For non-prevailing-wage residential and light-commercial work, the standard payroll summary covers most contractors.

Can employees correct their own timesheet?

Employees can submit a correction request from the mobile app. The request goes to the office for approval (with the original entry preserved as an audit trail). Office users can adjust entries directly. No silent edits — every change is logged with actor and timestamp.

Does GPS clock-in drain battery?

No — Vexor captures a single GPS point at clock-in and clock-out, not continuous tracking. Battery impact is negligible. We don't do background location tracking on employees.

How does overtime calculation handle multi-state crews?

OT rules are configurable per employee, so you can run California crews under CA OT (daily 8h / weekly 40h / 7-day) and Texas crews under federal (weekly 40h). Mixed-rule companies are common and supported.

Can I lock a pay period after I run payroll?

Yes — once you mark a pay period locked, no further timesheet edits are allowed for that period. Any corrections after lock require an explicit unlock action, logged in the audit trail.

What about meal breaks and rest breaks (CA-style)?

Auto-deducted meal breaks are configurable. California-compliant rest break tracking with attestation is supported on the Operations plan.

Does this work without internet?

Yes — employees can clock in and out offline; entries queue locally and sync when the device reconnects. Sync status is visible at all times so crews know what's pending.
