HR Management for Construction: Timesheets, Leave & Compliance
Managing people in construction is different from managing an office. Your team is spread across multiple sites, they start and finish at different times, and half of them don't sit at a desk. Generic HR software doesn't cut it.
What Construction HR Needs
- Clock in/out with GPS — prove who was on site and when
- Geofencing — automatic verification they're within the site boundary
- Timesheets — weekly hours per employee, auto-calculated from clock data
- Leave management — holiday requests, sick days, entitlement tracking
- Training matrix — CSCS, CPCS, IPAF, SSSTS, SMSTS, First Aid expiry tracking
- Rota planning — who's on which site this week
The CSCS Problem
Every operative on a UK construction site needs a valid CSCS card. Keeping track of expiry dates across a team is a nightmare on spreadsheets. One expired card found during an audit means trouble for the principal contractor — and for you.
GPS Clock-In
Construction-specific HR needs location-verified attendance. Not just "I clocked in at 7am" but "I clocked in at 7am and I was physically at the Darfield Workshop site." GPS geofencing proves attendance without relying on trust.
