Site-based crews, daily rates and verified attendance.
Site-based crews, daily rates and attendance verified at the site.
Construction is the clearest case for the casual and frontline capability. The workforce is engaged by the day, deployed to a site rather than a department, supervised by someone with a phone and no office, and paid on a rate that can change between projects. Nothing about that fits a monthly, desk-based HR process — which is why most sites end up on paper registers and spreadsheets.
What is actually different here
- Workers are engaged by the day and by the site, not by the department.
- The supervisor who knows who turned up is on site, not in an office.
- Daily rates differ by trade, by site and sometimes by project phase.
- The same worker returns across projects and must be recognised, not re-registered.
- Statutory identifiers are frequently incomplete at the point of engagement.
- Attendance reported from a site two days later cannot be verified by anyone.
Where the platform carries the weight
The whole flagship chain applies here almost unchanged: register the worker once with their identifiers, deploy them against a site and a request, capture attendance at the site, approve it there, and pay from the approved record at the rate that applied on the day.
- One worker record, recognised when they return to a later project
- Deployment against a site, a crew, a rate and an authorising request
- Attendance captured and approved at the site
- Earnings computed at the rate that applied on the day worked
- Incomplete records hold the payment rather than losing it
What a site actually needs
At engagement
- Identity captured once
- Duplicate detection
- Documents and gaps flagged
On site
- Crew deployment by site
- Attendance captured where the work is
- Supervisor approval on a phone
At payment
- Rate as at the day worked
- Held items visible with a reason
- Payment file from approved attendance
What changes
Common questions
Earnings are computed at the rate that applied on the day worked, so a rate change does not retrospectively reprice work already performed.
They are recognised as the same person. Identifiers, documents and prior engagement history are already on the record.
Yes — supervisor capture on a phone is the standard method, and it is what the module is designed around.
