Time Clock Software for Small Construction Companies
Updated June 6, 2026
Small construction outfits need a dependable time clock and clean hours for payroll — without a bloated enterprise platform. Here's how Orvella Time plus Orvella's leave tools cover a small crew.
What a small crew needs
Accurate clock in/out, a record of hours actually worked, and exportable totals for payroll — plus a way to handle time-off requests so jobs aren't short-staffed.
How Orvella covers it
Orvella Time, the optional desktop app, records work sessions and activity on Windows and macOS and feeds hours straight into the Orvella dashboard alongside leave and approvals. Office and remote roles are covered cleanly.
Honest about the field limits
Orvella Time is a desktop tracker — it's a great fit for office, estimating, and remote roles. It does not currently offer GPS or geofenced mobile clock-in for on-site field crews, so if your whole workforce clocks in from phones at job sites, pair Orvella for office/leave with a dedicated field app, or talk to us about your setup.
Frequently asked questions
Does Orvella have GPS clock-in for job sites?
Not currently — Orvella Time is a desktop tracker for Windows and macOS. It's ideal for office and remote roles; field-only crews may need a dedicated GPS app alongside it.
Can we export hours to payroll?
Yes. Worked-hour totals and leave reports export to CSV for your payroll provider.
Can we track PTO for the crew too?
Yes — leave, sick, and banked time are tracked in the same place as worked hours.
