Despite the risks, construction compliance has long relied on paper-based daily logs for tracking employees’ attendance on the jobsite.
Lost or incomplete records create administrative headaches, gaps in oversight, and make it harder to resolve issues when questions arise. For agencies and contractors on publicly funded projects, daily employee attendance logs are essential, yet the continued reliance on paper sign-in sheets severely compromises both transparency and accountability.
B2Gnow delivers the highly-anticipated solution with eComply FieldReporter, a mobile module that brings labor compliance directly to the jobsite. It replaces manual sign-in sheets with a secure digital kiosk that captures real-time employee sign-in and out digitally at the source, reducing unauthorized entries and eliminating illegible handwriting issues. The result is accurate, verifiable electronic records that support agency oversight and help contractors stay aligned with labor requirements throughout the project.
The High Cost of Manual Processes
Relying on paper-based data collection creates inefficiency and risk across a project.
- Human Error: Manually entering handwritten notes and sign-in sheets into a computer is a slow, error-prone process.
- Missed Discrepancies: If site data does not match the Certified Payroll Report (CPR), penalties may result if not caught immediately.
- Fraud Risks: Manual logs make it easier for employees to sign in or out for others or record incorrect hours.
- Administrative Burden: Jobsite managers lose time typing handwritten data into spreadsheets instead of managing the project directly.
