Time sheet collection

Work out the cost

Getting accurate time sheets from the shop floor has always been a headache — chasing people days later for what they were doing, and getting a best guess in return. Contract Controller’s Time Sheet Collection pods remove the guesswork: employees simply scan their ID and the contract item they’re working on, and the time sheet builds itself.

  • Employees scan in at the Pod — no paperwork, no end-of-week memory test
  • Time sheets are collated automatically, ready for production or accounts to check and process
  • Every employee and every hour booked to the correct contract item, first time

Employee activity


With time sheet pods stationed across the shop floor, you get a live view of exactly what every employee is working on, wherever they are. There’s no need to chase updates or guess where time’s gone — the system shows you in real time.

  • Know who’s doing what, right now, without needing to ask.
  • Monitor activity from every Pod, across the whole shop floor, in one place.
  • See instantly whether an employee is working on a contract or on non-contract tasks.

Time sheet collection pods


Pods are placed at key points around the shop floor, so employees can scan in wherever they happen to be working — not just at one fixed station.

  • Scan at any Pod, from anywhere on the shop floor.
  • Every Pod displays activity from all Pods, so the full picture is visible everywhere.
  • No bottlenecks — employees aren’t queuing at a single terminal to log time.

Employee operations


Employees often carry out several different operations within the same contract item, and the system captures exactly which one they’re doing at any given time.

  • Employees scan a relevant operation ID to indicate the specific task being carried out.
  • Shift patterns are recognised automatically — single time, time-and-a-half, and double time calculated accordingly.
  • Time and pay rate booked straight through to job costing, with no manual calculation needed.

Full time sheet processing facility


Everything to do with time sheets lives in one place, accessible from the Time Sheet Home Screen — whether it was generated automatically from the shop floor or needs a manual touch.

  • One home screen gives access to every time sheet collection function.
  • Time sheets generated automatically via Shop Floor Pods.
  • Manual entry or amendment available for anything not captured automatically.

Immediate time reporting


As soon as an item code is scanned in the workshop, production has visibility of exactly how long is being spent on it — not at the end of the week, but right now.

  • Real-time visibility of time spent on individual contract items.
  • Actual hours shown directly against scheduled hours.
  • Production can spot overruns early, while there’s still time to act.

Reporting


Time sheet data doesn’t just sit there once it’s collected — it feeds into verification, job costing, and a full suite of reports.

  • Time sheets can be verified by management before posting to job costing.
  • Detailed reports generated directly from collected time sheet data.
  • Full visibility for payroll, contract analysis, and labour planning.

Clocking in & out


Beyond contract time, the system keeps a full record of when employees are on the premisses — useful for payroll, and essential in an emergency.

  • Full reporting on employee clock-in and clock-out times for any period.
  • Contract time booked automatically for accurate job costing and labour analysis.
  • Instant Fire Roll Call report — a live list of everyone clocked in, ready for use in an evacuation.

Break alerts


Pods can be configured to manage breaks automatically, so employees aren’t stopping to scan on and off every time they down tools.

  • Pods sound an alert at the start and end of scheduled lunch or break periods.
  • Break periods can be deducted automatically from the current item via the employee’s shift matrix.
  • Removes the need for employees to manually scan off and on for every break.
