Time-tracking, loved by the field and the office.

Employees can clock in and out using the Miter mobile app, a shared tablet in kiosk mode, or through supervisor entry. The mobile app works both online and offline and allows workers to select their job and activity when clocking in. Kiosk mode turns any iOS or Android device into a shared time clock, making it ideal for crews without smartphones. No matter how time is entered, it flows directly into payroll and job costing for accurate, up-to-date reporting.

Yes. Salaried employees can assign hours to jobs themselves, or managers can job-cost their time directly. This helps maintain accurate labor costs for each project, preventing job costing pitfalls like forgetting to account for salaried employees.

• Build custom approval workflows with Miter’s timesheet policies. You can set up multi-step approval workflows, such as requiring a job supervisor to review time before it moves to a superintendent, and then payroll. Approval rules can be applied by job, department, or location, and assigned to the right employees or groups.

Yes, Miter supports geofencing and GPS tracking for jobsites. Block or flag out-of-bounds clock-ins so crews can only clock in/out from a defined jobsite. You can also enable breadcrumb tracking to monitor employee movement when they’re on the clock, ensuring visibility and supporting mileage reimbursements.

No. Miter only tracks location when an employee is actively clocked in and has enabled location tracking on their device.

Miter helps reduce time theft by verifying who is clocking in and where work is happening. Facial recognition prevents “buddy punching,” while geofencing ensures employees can only clock in and out when they’re physically on the jobsite. Together, these safeguards help ensure labor hours reflect actual time worked.

Yes, Miter offers facial recognition. When someone clocks in, Miter confirms it’s them with facial recognition. If there’s a mismatch, you can set the system to either alert you or block the clock-in entirely.

Miter is built to handle complex overtime and break rules, including state-specific labor laws and union-specific policies.

It can automatically apply daily, weekly, and weighted average overtime calculations based on your configured rules.

For breaks, Miter supports both manual tracking and auto-inserted break time. You can configure multiple paid and unpaid break types, and the system will flag late or missed breaks to help ensure compliance with state, union, or project-specific regulations.

Yes. Miter supports prevailing wage and union pay requirements, including fringe benefits. The platform also generates certified payroll reports that align with federal and state requirements.

Yes. As time is entered in Miter, it’s automatically assigned to the appropriate jobs and cost codes. This provides real-time visibility into labor costs and job performance, helping you make informed decisions with up-to-date data.

Yes. The Miter app is available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Yes, kiosk mode lets a shared smartphone or tablet act as a time clock, which works great for crews without personal devices.

Miter tags worked hours with the correct employee, activity, and job. This data flows into payroll, which applies the correct pay rates, fringes, and overtime rules. Automating these tasks eliminates manual calculation work and mistakes. With just a click, you can generate certified payroll and union reports, saving hours of admin time. And the automation doesn’t stop there — tagged time and pay data also flow into your accounting and ERP systems for accurate job costing.

Yes, Miter lets you control which jobs employees can see and clock into. Set permissions by variables like employee, role, and department, limiting access to certain jobs. With Scheduling, you can ensure employees can only clock into the job they’re scheduled for.

Yes. Admins can review, edit, and approve time entries individually or in bulk before they move into payroll. This helps catch issues early and ensure accurate payroll.

Over 1,000 contractors, from specialty subcontractors to large general contractors, use Miter to track time across commercial, residential, and heavy civil projects.

The best time tracking software for contractors is part of a complete workforce management process, not a standalone time clock. For contractors, the best time tracking software time connects directly to payroll, job costing, scheduling, and labor compliance to prevent errors and rework.

Miter is built specifically for construction teams and unifies time tracking with payroll, job costing, and compliance in a single platform. Contractors can choose from more than eight time tracking options – mobile, kiosk, supervisor-entry, and more – with all hours flowing automatically into payroll and accounting systems like ERPs. This ensures accurate labor costs, faster payroll, and consistent compliance across jobs, crews, and states.

Yes, Miter gives you granular control over every part of your timesheet process. Here’s how: 

• Automated approval flows: Send timesheets to the right people, like foremen and project managers, for review before processing payroll. 
• Personalized field data: Capture custom data from the field, like how many pipes a worker installed or how many hours a piece of equipment was used. 
• Customizable permissions: Customizable permissions let you control access so employees clock in and submit timesheets, while managers handle review and approval for their teams.

Yes. Miter is fully available in both English and Spanish across the entire platform, including time tracking.
