WorkMonitor for field teams
Make “on site” a fact, not a text message on Monday
A phone browser puts a crew on site with a GPS fix measured against your own geofence, manual entry covers the rest, and approved hours feed payroll off the same record.
Free for two seats, no card.
Field teams
What changes for work that happens on location
Pick a line and the page it happens on opens on the right.
Rollout
Covering work that happens away from a desk
- 1
Define the job sites
Geofenced sites with clock in and out, feeding the same attendance record as desk-based staff.
- 2
Handle the off-machine hours honestly
Manual entry exists for work no agent can observe, and it is marked as manual on the record so the two kinds of hour are never conflated.
- 3
Approve on a chain that holds
Append-only timesheets with correction chains and separation of duties, so a disputed site visit has a trail.
- 4
Export straight to pay
Approved hours seed the payroll run through one rate engine, pre-flighted in integer cents before anything leaves.
Hours reported after the fact vs. hours recorded on site

How hours arrive
With WorkMonitor
Clock in and out against a geofenced job site, on the same record as everyone else.
Field time today
A text message or a paper sheet, transcribed by somebody on Monday.
Work no tool can see
With WorkMonitor
Entered manually and marked as manual, so it is never mistaken for captured activity.
Field time today
Estimated, and quietly disputed.
Corrections
With WorkMonitor
Corrections append, with the author and the reason, and the original still readable.
Field time today
The number is changed and the original is gone.
Approval
With WorkMonitor
Multi-stage with separation of duties enforced rather than documented.
Field time today
One person signs off their own team’s hours.
Getting to payroll
With WorkMonitor
Approved hours seed the run directly, with an integer-cent pre-flight.
Field time today
Re-keyed into a second system and reconciled.
Getting the crew set up
With WorkMonitor
A link in the browser they already have. Nothing to install, and the geofence is configured once by you.
Field time today
An app to install, a store account per worker, and a device policy to argue about.
What a field operation gets to work with
- Timesheets (append-only, correction chains, approvals)
- Clock in/out + geofenced job sites

The status meeting, already written
Status is normally assembled by asking. Here it is already: hours, activity, attendance and risk on one board, for one person or the whole company. Set the thresholds once and it tells you who needs you.
Jobs to be done
The jobs a field operation runs here
- Track time automaticallyNo timer to start, no Friday reconstruction. Idle is split out rather than estimated, and approved hours reach payroll and invoicing without a re-key.
- Run payroll from approved hoursApproved timesheets seed the run, one rate engine prices pay and billing, an integer-cent pre-flight has to balance, and the export is gated to the owner.
- Manage remote & hybrid teamsOne live board across every zone, attendance in each person’s local day, capacity bands that name who is drowning, and a rollout that never touches a machine.
- Bill defendable client hoursBudgets that burn down while you can still move somebody, rate-card billing off captured hours, and an invoice the client verifies without asking you for anything.
Straight answers
The questions we would ask in your position
Every answer here is the one you would get on a call. Open as many as you like; they stay open, so two can be held side by side.
From the browser on their own phone, with nothing to install and no store account to create. The punch captures the device GPS fix and tests it against the radius of every job site you have configured, then records the on-site or off-site verdict on the punch itself rather than blocking it — so a genuine reason to be off-site is a conversation rather than a lockout. Manual entry covers work no clock catches, marked as manual, and both run through the same approval chain as desk-based hours.
It records whether activity happened inside a site boundary you define. It is a presence signal rather than a precision location trail, and it is deliberately not continuous tracking of where somebody is.
They carry less evidence, and the record shows which is which rather than blending them. Both run through multi-stage approval with separation of duties, so a manual entry is signed off by somebody other than whoever wrote it.
Capture policies can be scoped to working hours, and the per-app deny-list applies on the device before anything is transmitted. On a field team where the phone is personal, that boundary is worth setting explicitly at rollout.

Teams with the same problem, from another angle
Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
Free for two seats. No card, and no sales call to sit through.
