For GC crews
Your crew and your subs, one weekly board.
W-2 carpenters and 1099 subs on every job, and five sites moving at once. See the whole labor picture every week.
General contracting is really two workforces: your own W-2 crew and a rotating cast of 1099 subs — framers, drywallers, painters, and everybody else. They're on different jobs, different schedules, and different tax forms, but you review labor once a week. My Guys Time puts both on one weekly board, marked separately. The office sees weekly hours, hours past 40, and a simple gross pay estimate. It doesn't run payroll or file 1099s.

Where general contracting hours go missing
If any of these sound like your week, your time cards are leaking.
Two workforces, one week
Your carpenters are W-2, the drywall crew is 1099, and they're both on the Johnson job Tuesday. Tracking them in separate systems is how hours fall through the cracks.
Subs across multiple jobs
The same sub crew bounces between your jobs through the week. Without daily logging, their hours per job are a guess — and your job costing with them.
Your crew floats too
Your own guys move between sites as priorities shift. Splitting their week across five jobs from memory on Friday doesn't work.
Employees and subs on one week
Employee hours and sub hours need to stay marked apart. Mix them together and the office has to sort it out later. The board keeps the mark. Payroll and 1099 filing stay with whoever does that work.
The general contracting week on My Guys Time
Everyone logs from the field
Your foreman logs the W-2 crew; sub foremen log their own guys. Same simple workflow, separate lanes, all from phone browsers.
You review the whole week
One board shows every worker on every job, every day — employees and subs side by side but never mixed.
Adjust across jobs
Move hours between jobs as the week actually went. W-2 and 1099 stay marked on the same board.
Hand off the week
The office gets each person's weekly hours, hours past 40, and a simple gross estimate. W-2 and 1099 stay marked separately. Payroll and 1099 filing stay with whoever does that work.
The 1099 problem, solved by structure
Most GCs track subs on spreadsheets and employees on something else, then reconcile the two by hand. My Guys Time was built for mixed crews from the start: 1099 subs live on the same weekly board as your W-2 crew but in their own lane, so the separation your accountant needs is structural, not something you maintain with discipline.
For whether those 1099 subs are owed overtime, see do 1099 subs get overtime. It's a contractor's overview, not legal advice.
General Contracting questions, answered straight
Do my subs need to pay for seats?+
There are no seats. $12/month flat covers the whole company — your crew, your subs, your office. Everybody.
Can subs see my other jobs or rates?+
Reports are private to the office. Subs log their hours; they don't see payroll data, other crews' information, or anything beyond their own time card.
We run a lot of jobs at once. How many can it handle?+
Crews are organized per team, and the weekly review shows the full picture. Day-by-day hours are on the board, so you can allocate them across as many jobs as you run.
