Time and payroll
How does ControlBoard® set up time sheets and pay rules for my company?
ControlBoard fits time sheets to the way your company already works. Name the sections of a crew’s sheet for people,
equipment, material or subcontractors, set default start and stop times, and use your crews’ own words for the
columns. Decide how each kind of absence is paid, or record it unpaid. Choose the day the pay week starts, add
holidays, and set the hour columns such as regular and overtime. Foremen can keep their own day apart from the crew’s
sheet. Punch rules, overtime and drive time come from named policies, and a period close fixes costs through a date.

Common questions
Can ControlBoard pay absences differently by reason?
Yes. Each absence reason pays as a pay type you choose, or records the day and pays nothing. Unpaid absences are
coded to a pay type for zero-hour days, so the record stays complete. A reason not yet decided puts nothing on the
time sheet.
Can the pay week start on Sunday?
Yes. The pay week starts on Monday or Sunday, as your payroll runs. Holidays are kept on one company list and can
be loaded from a spreadsheet, and the hour columns on a time sheet, such as regular and overtime, follow your pay
types.
Can a foreman keep their own hours apart from the crew?
Yes. With that choice on, a foreman, supervisor or timekeeper signs off their own day separately on ControlBoard
Field, and their row on the crew’s sheet is read-only. Without it, they enter their own hours as one more row and
submit them with the crew.
