Landscaping crew timesheets for multi-property days

Capture hours by property when crews bounce between yards. GPS site check-in records the time and location when a worker arrives and checks in. Enter and code the hours you select, get supervisor approval, then export payroll-ready Excel or CSV – without a full field-service CRM.

Direct answer: Landscaping timesheets should record hours by property or job, get supervisor approval, then export for payroll – not a Friday stack of texts. MSCTIME is construction timesheet software for landscaping and grounds crews in Canada and the US. GPS site check-in records the time and location when a worker arrives at a job site (no check-out). Hours are based on what the user selects – not automatic punch-in/punch-out. It does not track crews all day.

The problem with multi-property days

Crews hit many yards in one day. Paper sheets and group texts lose which property ate the hours. Owners need labour by property for billing and job cost – not another quoting and dispatch suite if they already invoice elsewhere.

Many owners also prefer proof that someone showed up without watching the crew’s location all day. MSCTIME records location only at check-in.

How it works

  1. Open MSCTIME in the phone browser – no app-store install.
  2. Check in on arrival at the property. GPS site check-in records the time and location (arrival only – there is no check-out).
  3. Enter and code hours as you select them – job, phase, or cost code. Optional start/end times are what the user enters, not automatic punch-out from GPS.
  4. Supervisor approves. Office exports Excel, CSV, or PDF for QuickBooks-friendly workflows, Sage, ADP, Payworks, or your accountant’s template.

Built for seasonal, multi-site crews

Several properties per day

Workers can check in at more than one site; hours stay on the right job.

Job, phase, and cost codes

The same codes your estimator or bookkeeper uses.

Supervisor approval

Missing codes and buddy-punching get caught before payroll – a process, not biometrics.

Flat plan for 2-15 users

$124.99/mo (or $1,249.99/yr), shown in CAD in Canada and USD elsewhere – same number, geo-based. Seasonal headcount without per-seat sticker shock. One user stays free.

Payroll-ready export

Excel / CSV / PDF – import into the tools you already use.

Built for Canadian payroll workflows

Victoria, BC product. Export approved hours for Payworks, Sage, and QuickBooks-friendly imports. See construction time tracking software Canada.

For BC employers, Employment Standards Act rules require accurate daily-hours records and retention. MSCTIME helps you capture and export those hours. This is not legal advice; confirm retention with your bookkeeper or counsel.

Who this is for

Landscaping and grounds owners with field crews on multi-property days who want plain job-coded timesheets, supervisor approval, and a payroll file – at a flat price for 2-15 users.

Who should look elsewhere

If you need live maps and continuous GPS, geofence auto clock, client-facing visit photos, or quotes/invoices/routing in the same app.

Frequently asked questions

Do workers need an app?

No. MSCTIME runs in the mobile browser. Crews can add a home-screen icon for one-tap login.

Can one person check in at multiple properties per day?

Yes. GPS site check-in records the time and location each time they arrive and check in at a job site. Hours for each stop are still entered and coded as the user selects.

Do you track location all day?

No. Location is recorded only when a worker checks in on arrival – not live tracking, not geofencing, and not a check-out location. Hours are what the user selects (optional start/end are entered by the user, not automatic from GPS).

Can supervisors approve before payroll?

Yes. Approvals catch missing codes and buddy-punching before the bookkeeper runs payroll.

What’s included for seasonal crews (2-15 users)?

Flat $124.99/mo or $1,249.99/yr for 2-15 users (CAD in Canada, USD elsewhere – same number, geo-based). One user is free forever. 30-day free trial, no credit card. See pricing for 16+.

Offline when cell service is spotty?

No. MSCTIME needs a connection to check in and submit timesheets. It does not store offline check-ins for later sync.
