Time tracking for contractors turns scattered hours into clear labor costs. Werx lets you log time from any job site, watch crews in real time, and keep each project on budget.

Whether you remodel, wire panels, or run HVAC calls, juggling jobs while keeping hours accurate is hard. Labor is your largest cost, so the contractor who controls the hours controls the margin. For the bigger picture, read why time tracking matters in construction.

What makes Werx a strong time-tracking tool?

Werx gives contractors a full set of features that take the hassle out of tracking hours and managing labor.

Track time from anywhere

You are often on the move across job sites. Werx time tracking runs in the cloud, so you log hours and watch labor costs from the site, the office, or the truck. Your data is live and always reachable.

Log hours in a few taps

The interface is simple, so you and your crew can log hours fast. A few taps records the time, which keeps the job moving and the data accurate.

Watch your crew in real time

Get a clear view of who is on what task and for how long. That helps you balance workloads and assign crews well across several jobs at once. Learn more about real-time labor tracking in construction.

Keep the budget in control

The Labor Rates feature lets you set pay, benefits, taxes, and insurance for each worker. That gives you accurate labor cost estimates so you stay on budget. See how this feeds time and materials tracking for tighter control.

What advanced tools does Werx add?

Werx goes past basic tracking with tools that make labor management easier:

  • Overtime and pay periods: Set daily, weekly, or double-time thresholds so overtime is calculated right.
  • Non-project categories: Track sick days, vacation, and other non-billable hours with up to 10 custom categories.
  • Secure data storage: Encrypted transmissions and strict access controls protect your data.
  • Detailed reporting: Build reports on timesheets, overtime, and labor costs for smarter calls and accurate client invoices.

A QuickBooks sync moves your hours into payroll and accounting without double entry.

How does Werx help different trades?

Werx fits the needs of many trades:

  • Solar contractors: Track install hours and costs on labor-heavy setups and compliance tasks.
  • Roofing contractors: Track crew hours on repairs and installs while watching labor costs.
  • Plumbing contractors: Bill accurately by tracking on-site labor for installs and emergency calls.
  • Painting contractors: Manage detailed jobs with a simple interface. See mobile time tracking for painters.

Is Werx time tracking right for your business?

Werx fits contractors who run crews and bill clients for labor. If you manage hours across several jobs or face payroll deadlines, the real-time tracking and labor rate tools save real time and money.

A solo operator on one small job may not need every feature yet. But once hours split across jobs and crews, guessing at labor costs starts to cost you. Tracking crew time by job, phase, and cost code is where the payoff starts.
