Payroll and Workforce Management

CynQ simplifies time tracking and payroll management for the construction industry. Employees record their hours directly on the jobsite using a GPS-enabled mobile time punch. Each hour is linked to the right project and task, then integrated into cost tracking. With flexible configuration for rates, trades, project types and overtime rules, CynQ helps you create more reliable timesheets, manage a rigorous approval process and export data to your payroll system.

GPS-Enabled Mobile Time Punch

Capture Time Directly from the Jobsite

With CynQ, employees enter their hours directly from the jobsite using their mobile phone. With the GPS-enabled mobile time punch, they simply start the timer for the task they are working on. When a new task begins, the timer for the previous task stops automatically.

  • Start and stop time directly from a task.
  • Manually edit time entries when needed.
  • Manage multiple tasks throughout the same day.
  • Timesheets based on actual hours worked.
  • Timesheet approval process before payroll export.
  • Time tracking for subcontractors, depending on your configuration.

Reduce missed entries and errors while making time tracking easier.

  • Hourly rates based on project type.
  • Different rates based on trade and skill level (apprentice, journeyperson and foreman).
  • Configure overtime thresholds and time bank eligibility.
  • Adapt settings to collective agreements, decrees and internal policies.

A Mobile Time Punch with a Configurable GPS Geofence

CynQ lets you define a GPS geofence around each project or jobsite to verify whether an employee is within the designated area when using the time punch to record or edit a time entry. This feature is not intended to track employee movements and does not record their exact location, nor the location of subcontractors.

  • Capture time directly from the jobsite using a GPS-enabled mobile time punch.
  • Configure a GPS geofence within which employees can clock in and out.
  • Identify entries made near or outside the established jobsite area.
  • Configure settings according to company policies and required consent.
  • Option to disable this feature for specific employees.

Improve data reliability while maintaining control over your rules and settings.
