BusyBusy is a mobile app for time tracking and payroll. Employees can clock in and out of jobs using the app on their mobile device or managers can clock in crews individually or as a group. GPS is used to obtain accurate clock in and clock out locations so managers and construction owners can see where employees are and what they are working on. BusyBusy lets construction business owners see which employees have worked on a job, the amount of time each employee has spent and how much it has cost to date.
With BusyBusy, time cards are automatically collected from every project as they happen. These time cards are then accessible from an employer’s mobile device or a desktop browser. Time entires are also editable. BusyBusy lets the employer set permissions for employees to edit their own time entries or require a manager do it for them.
