FAQs about Construction Time tracking

When does busybusy's GPS track employee locations?

busybusy only ‘pins’ an employee’s location when an employee clocks in and when they clock out, including breaks. When an employee is not clocked in, rest assured no one can see their location. Throughout a work day when an employee is clocked in, busybusy uses something called ‘breadcrumbing’ to mark significant employee movement. Small movements on jobsites aren’t tracked, but when an employee leaves to pick up supplies a GPS breadcrumb is dropped to see where they went.

Can GPS be turned off for certain employees?

Of course! GPS can be easily turned on or off for individual employees or for everyone!

How much battery power does the busybusy app use?

busybusy designed their product to use as little battery and data as possible. busybusy accomplishes this by piggybacking on your cell phone’s preexisting system, so there’s no need to use hardly any additional battery and data to run busybusy’s app.

Does the busybusy app use a lot of data?

When designing busybusy, developers meticulously worked to minimize battery and data usage within busybusy’s app. busybusy uses data when grabbing very quick geo locations throughout the day known as breadcrumbs. This very brief use of data has been calculated to equal about 3 mb of data a month or roughly one 3 minute YouTube video. Also, when it comes to uploading photos and files, there is an option to further reduce data usage or even select wifi only.

Is customer support free for everyone?

Of course! Customer support is free to everyone: employees, admins and owners. Any user can contact us via email, phone or chat and we'll get back to you ASAP.

"busybusy made such a difference in the way we do our payroll. It used to take me three hours to log all the hours for each job and each employee. I used to dread payroll! Now with busybusy it's like having an extra employee in the office taking care of all the things I hate doing. We also like the way that we can easily run reports and track expenses for each job."
