Digital Construction Site Monitoring and Time Tracking in the Construction Industry

Checkin@Work and timekeeping on site.

FAQ 1

What exactly is Checkin@Work?

Checkin@Work is a legal requirement under which, as a construction company, you must record every day which employees are present at a job site with a value of 500,000 euros or more (excluding VAT). This applies to your own employees, subcontractors, and independent contractors. Our solution automates this registration via badge, vehicle, or app. This helps you avoid errors, fines, and administrative hassles.

FAQ 2 · 2027

What changes will be made to Checkin@Work on April 1, 2027?

Starting April 1, 2027, Checkinatwork will be replaced by Check in and out at work on construction sites with a value of 500,000 euros or more (excluding VAT). You will then be required to record not only who arrives, but also who leaves. Recording attendance in advance or remotely will no longer be permitted: attendance must be recorded in real time, on the construction site.

FAQ 3

How do my employees automatically clock in when they arrive at the job site?

Employees can be checked in automatically via:

a badge reader in the vehicle
A time clock at the construction site, where you can scan using a Construbadge, Dallas key, LISA badge, RFID, ID card, company badge, or Limosa QR code
a mobile app with location detection
a personal QR code

As soon as someone identifies themselves, their attendance is forwarded to the RSZ.

FAQ 4

Can we integrate document verification with Checkin@Work?

Yes. Our CONNEQTR module immediately verifies whether the employee is in compliance with VCA, Limosa, training instructions, and other documents. If any documents are invalid, the employee will not be granted access. This ensures you’re always in compliance in the event of an inspection.

FAQ 5

Can I use Checkin@Work with a turnstile or gate?

Yes, this is a commonly used yard solution. Your badge is literally your access card to the yard. The turnstile only opens if you are correctly registered and your documents are in order.

FAQ 6

Is there a solution for subcontractors and foreign workers?

Absolutely. With our flexible identification options (ID card, QR code, RFID, Dallas key, etc.), subcontractors and temporary workers can also register quickly and easily. Foreign workers scan their Limosa QR code. The data is automatically imported, without anyone having to manually enter it.

Ways to Sign Up for Checkinatwork
FAQ 7

What if someone tries to enter without a valid badge or registration?

You’ll receive a notification in the management platform if someone scans an invalid badge. This way, you’ll know exactly who tried to enter, when, and why access was denied (for example, an expired Limosa). Do you want to ensure that person doesn’t enter your site? Then choose the option to link the system to a turnstile.

Access Control at the Construction Site
FAQ 8

Can we also see how long someone was on site through the Checkinatwork registration system?

You’ll receive automatic reports showing the check-in time for each job site and each employee. If the time is logged while in the vehicle, you’ll have a complete overview of attendance and driving times. This is useful for project tracking, invoicing, or post-project cost analysis.

Please note: As of today, Checkinatwork only tracks arrival at the job site. Starting April 1, 2027, clocking out will also be required under “Check in and out at work.” Would you like to implement clocking out now? If so, it’s best to install an additional time clock at the exit—possibly linked to a turnstile—to ensure no one forgets to clock out, as our client Monument Vandekerckhove has done.

Would you also like to know exactly what someone did and how long they worked on a job? Then our PrestaMob app is the best choice.

Employee Time Tracking via the Vehicle
FAQ 9

Can we also link time tracking to the mobility allowance?

Absolutely. By combining track & trace with trip logging, you can accurately calculate the number of kilometers, breaks, and work hours per day or per job site—all without any paperwork. This is ideal for payroll processing or your HR department. The PrestaMob app from AllConnects is also a handy tool for this purpose.

FAQ 10

What is the difference between time tracking in the vehicle and via a mobile app?

In-vehicle system: ideal when employees always use the same vehicle. Badge = registration. Driver recognition also allows you to quickly and easily calculate the mobility allowance for the driver and passengers.
Mobile app (such as the Checkin@Work app and PrestaMob): useful for subcontractors, mobile crews, or flexible teams that work with different vehicles. Employees can record their start time, end time, breaks, clients, and job sites themselves.
Check-in at work via vehicle or app
FAQ 11

Are there any real-world examples of construction companies that use digital construction solutions?

Absolutely. Every day, our systems process more than 3,000 check-ins at job sites throughout Belgium. Many companies rely on our solutions for attendance tracking, time tracking, and fleet tracking. Here are a few examples:

Every month, BPC Group automatically reports approximately 47,000 workdays to the RSZ across all of its job sites.
Monument Vandekerckhove combines time tracking with Limosa compliance monitoring for foreign subcontractors. At many historic construction sites, such as the Boerentoren in Antwerp, the Menin Gate in Ypres, and the Old Post Office in Lokeren, they use a Checkin@Work time clock linked to a turnstile.
Ramen Van Tomme digitized its attendance tracking using Checkin@Work with badges.

Want to know what this could mean for your business? We'd love to think along with you.

Performance and mobility recording in construction

FAQ 1

How can I automatically track the performance of mobile teams?

You can clock in using your vehicle (with a badge or key) or through an app like PrestaMob. This automatically logs work hours, breaks, customer locations, and mileage—all paperless. Everything is clearly organized in a single dashboard for scheduling, post-job billing, or payroll processing.

FAQ 2

What about breaks and travel?

You can easily record these as separate task types. Employees select them in the app or on the onboard computer. This ensures accurate data for payroll, project costs, or post-project cost calculations.

FAQ 3

Can we track performance by site or project?

Sure. You assign each hour worked to a specific job site, client, or project code. In your dashboard, you can immediately see:

how many hours were worked there
Who was present at which construction site
whether there are any deviations from your schedule

Do you have a question about your construction site that isn't listed here?

Together, we'll determine which registration option is best suited for your sites and crews.
