For painting crews
Prep days, paint days, one clean time card.
Crews split between interiors and exteriors, prep running long, touch-up callbacks eating Fridays. Log the day it's worked.
Painting weeks are choppy: Monday is all prep and masking, Wednesday the sprayers are out, Friday somebody's back for touch-ups on last week's job. Crews split between interior and exterior work, and the hours blur together across jobs. My Guys Time keeps it simple — the foreman logs the day from the job site, and your weekly review shows what actually happened instead of what everybody half-remembers.

Where painting hours go missing
If any of these sound like your week, your time cards are leaking.
Prep vs. paint vs. callbacks
Different phases, sometimes different days on the same house. When the week gets reconstructed from memory, it all flattens into '40 hours' and you learn nothing.
Crews split across jobs
Two guys finishing an interior while three start an exterior across town. Splitting their week between jobs on Friday is guesswork.
Touch-up trips vanish
A two-hour callback on Friday afternoon is real labor on a real job — and it's the first thing forgotten on a paper time card.
Paint store runs
Somebody's always running for another five of ceiling paint or the right sheen. The middle of the day disappears into errands.
The painting week on My Guys Time
Foreman logs from the job
Last brush cleaned, hours tapped in from the phone. Prep day, spray day, callback — logged the day it's worked, not Friday from memory.
You review the week
The crew board shows every painter, every day. The Friday touch-up trip is right there instead of lost.
Adjust and split
Move hours between the interior job and the exterior job. Fix the day somebody left early for the paint store. One pass and payroll's ready.
Hand off the week
The office reviews the week and hands it to whoever runs payroll. Receipt photos from the paint store are already attached to the right day.
Callbacks count too
The two-hour touch-up trip is the most-forgotten labor in painting — it never feels worth writing down, so it never gets billed or tracked. When logging a day takes seconds from the truck, even the small trips make it onto the card. That's where the margin was hiding.
Painting questions, answered straight
We pay some guys hourly and some by the day. Does that work?+
Hours are tracked per day per person. The office sees the weekly total, hours past 40, and a simple gross estimate. For day-rate guys, the daily log is the attendance record. Payroll stays with whoever runs it.
Can the foreman log for guys who don't have smartphones?+
Yes — one phone per crew is enough. The foreman logs the whole crew's day from his phone in the browser.
What about side jobs or weekend work?+
Any day can be logged, including Saturdays. Weekend and callback hours show up on the same weekly board, so nothing worked gets forgotten.
