Construction is one of Australia's most demanding industries — and one of the hardest to manage when it comes to tracking workforce time and attendance. Workers shift between sites daily. Rosters change overnight. Subcontractors come and go. And with Fair Work Australia ramping up scrutiny of the construction sector, getting your time records wrong is a risk your business simply can't afford.

The FingerTec Face ID X biometric terminal and TimeTec TA cloud time management software were built for exactly this kind of environment.

The Problem With Traditional Site Sign-Ins

Paper-based sign-in sheets and manual timesheets are standard practice on many Australian construction sites — but they're a liability. They're easy to falsify, difficult to audit, and time-consuming to process. When a Fair Work inspector asks for two years of accurate attendance records, a folder full of crumpled sign-in sheets won't cut it.

Face ID X: Rugged, Fast, and Reliable

The FingerTec Face ID X is built to last, constructed from high-quality ABS acrylic material with strong resistance to heat, chemicals, and low temperatures. It's fast enough to process an entire shift changeover without slowing workers down — face verification in under 2 seconds, fingerprint verification in under 1 second.

For sites where workers can't always use their hands (gloves, wet conditions), the card and PIN verification options provide backup clocking methods. With 10,000 card templates supported, you can pre-register your entire site workforce before the first pour is even scheduled.

TimeTec TA: Multi-Site Visibility in Real Time

TimeTec TA's cloud infrastructure means you can monitor attendance across multiple construction sites from a single dashboard. Project managers and HR teams can log in from any device — laptop, tablet, or smartphone — and see exactly who is on site, who is running late, and which shifts are running over on overtime.

The software's multi-division management structure lets you organise workers by site, trade, contractor group, or department — so your reporting always reflects the real structure of your workforce, not a generic flat list.

And when payday comes around, TimeTec TA's direct export to MYOB eliminates manual data re-entry, drastically reducing the risk of underpayment errors that could put your business in the crosshairs of a Fair Work audit.

Stay Compliant, Win More Contracts

Major head contractors and government-funded construction projects in Australia increasingly require subcontractors to demonstrate payroll compliance systems. Having a certified, cloud-backed biometric attendance system on your site isn't just good management — it's a competitive advantage when tendering for work.
