The scheduling tools cover shifts, pay-rate adjustments, and overtime rules. Its payroll calculator handles standard hours, overtime, pay rates, and job-based pay, while reports cover hours, job costing, labor costs, and overtime. Administrators can assign jobs and cost codes to track time against projects or phases. Fareclock lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows access. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is available. Annual pricing starts at $1.38/user/mo; Pro is listed at $1.65 per user per month plus an $11.00 base fee, billed monthly, and Premium at $2.50 per user per month plus a $17.00 base fee, billed monthly.

Miter Job Costing is part of a construction platform that combines payroll, compliance reporting, and labor costing for contractors. It tags labor and expenses to jobs and cost codes, then sends the detail to a contractor’s ERP or accounting system. Users can import a chart of accounts and configure cost codes and general-ledger mapping. Miter allocates payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, and benefits across jobs, phases, and cost codes; recurring reimbursements, paid time off, and per diems can also be job-costed. Named integrations include Sage, Acumatica, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Spectrum, Viewpoint Vista, CMiC, and Foundation, with custom integrations available through the REST API. Field teams have more than eight time-entry methods, including a mobile app, kiosk, and supervisor entry. Miter’s Production tool tracks equipment usage, materials, and quantities from the jobsite. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, as well as through an API. Miter offers onboarding and training and says email support responds the same day. Pricing is on request, based on company size, headcount, and products used.
