How BuildPass Calculates Worker Hours
BuildPass tracks a worker’s hours using their sign-on and sign-off data, applying the rules below to ensure hours are recorded as accurately as possible.
1. Standard Time Calculation
Time worked is calculated as the difference between the sign-on time and the sign-off time.
2. Worker Has Not Signed Off Yet
If a worker has not signed off, BuildPass will display in the Site Diary the amount of time worked from when they signed on up to the current time.
To ensure the total hours are recorded correctly, make sure the worker is signed off once they finish work.
3. Missing or Excessive Sign-On Time
If BuildPass detects that:
a worker has been signed on for more than 24 hours, or
no sign-off time has been entered,
BuildPass will use the site’s working hours to estimate when the worker likely finished for the day.
4. No Site Timings Available
If no site working hours are set, BuildPass will assume the worker worked no more than 7.6 hours.
This helps prevent over-reporting in cases where a worker forgets to sign off or accidentally signs off on the wrong day.
