1099 contractor timesheets for construction crews

Track W-2 employees and 1099 subcontractors in one construction timesheet system — job and phase codes, supervisor approvals, and payroll-ready exports for your bookkeeper.

Direct answer: MSCTIME tracks and exports hours for employees and 1099 contractors by job. It does not file 1099-NEC forms — your accountant or payroll vendor does that from the hours you export. Use one system so Friday payroll is not a stack of texts and paper sheets.

W-2 vs 1099 in one system

Many contractors mix employees and subcontractors on the same jobs. MSCTIME lets both enter hours against the same job and phase codes so job costing stays consistent — whether the person is W-2 or 1099.

One crew roster

Invite employees and subcontractors with the roles and codes your office already uses.

Job & phase codes

Split a day across sites without a second paper timesheet for each contractor.

Supervisor approvals

Approve hours before export so missing codes do not land in payroll.

Export for 1099 paperwork

Payroll-ready Excel/CSV hours your bookkeeper uses when preparing 1099-NEC — MSCTIME does not e-file the forms.

Mobile entry → supervisor approval → payroll export

  1. Mobile entry — crews and contractors log hours from a phone in about a minute.
  2. Supervisor approval — review regular and overtime before payday.
  3. Payroll export — Excel, CSV, or PDF for QuickBooks-friendly workflows, Sage, ADP, Payworks, or your accountant’s template.

Frequently asked questions

Does MSCTIME file 1099s?

No. MSCTIME tracks and exports hours. Your bookkeeper, CPA, or payroll vendor prepares and files 1099-NEC forms from the hours and pay data you provide.

Can W-2 and 1099 workers use the same timesheet system?

Yes. That is the point of this page — one set of job codes and approvals, then export hours for whoever runs payroll and contractor payments.
