Plumbing contractor timesheets — job codes to payroll

Capture crew hours by job and task code from the field. Supervisors approve before payroll. Export Excel or CSV into the system your bookkeeper already uses — service calls and new-build on the same day.

Direct answer: Plumbing and HVAC timesheets should record job-site hours and labor by job/task code, get supervisor approval, then export for payroll — not a Friday stack of tickets. MSCTIME is construction timesheet software for plumbing and HVAC contractors in Canada and the US.

Service plumbers bounce between calls; new-build crews split a day across units. Paper sheets lose job codes. MSCTIME keeps hours on the job so Friday payroll is an export, not a reconstruction.

How plumbing and HVAC contractors get payroll out of paper timesheets

  1. Crews enter time from a phone in about a minute — job, task/cost code, regular and overtime.
  2. Supervisors approve before payroll runs, so missing codes and buddy-punching get caught on site.
  3. Office exports Excel, CSV, or PDF for QuickBooks-friendly workflows, Sage, ADP, Payworks, or your accountant’s template.

Job and task codes that stick to labor cost

Track job-site hours against the same job and phase codes your estimator uses. Split a day across service calls and new-build work without a second paper sheet. Approved time feeds labor cost tracking for the office — hours ready to import, not retyped.

Field, not the shop

Service calls and new-build jobs the same day — hours stay on the right job and work-order code.

Payroll without retyping

Approved hours export in minutes. That is the automation: the file, not another spreadsheet.

Approvals before payday

Foremen catch missing codes before the bookkeeper sees them. Fewer payroll corrections on Monday.

Residential service and new construction

Track hours by job or work order the same way — service calls and new-build cost codes in one timesheet. Optional home-screen icon so techs open login in one tap — see the iPhone & Android add-to-home guide.
