Which routine fits your team?
When Workyard fits
Consider Workyard when you need to coordinate people across job sites, check where time was recorded, manage crew schedules, or send time into an accounting system. Its official product pages describe GPS time tracking, job and cost-code reporting, scheduling, and native integrations.

Use one employee and a few recognizable job numbers first. Practice starting, switching, and stopping for a break. Review the first day together before bringing the rest of the team on.
What sits around the hours?
Both products can help record time. The useful comparison is what else your workflow needs.
| Your need | MinuteMill | Workyard |
|---|---|---|
| Record employee time against a job | Employees tap to start, stop, or switch jobs in a phone, tablet, or computer browser. | GPS time tracking with hours allocated to jobs and cost codes. |
| Coordinate locations and schedules | Job hours and notes. GPS clock-ins, geofences, and crew scheduling are outside MinuteMill’s scope. | GPS location views and digital crew scheduling. |
| Move hours into other systems | CSV export. Payroll calculations and direct payroll integrations are handled elsewhere. | Native integrations and a developer API for accounting and payroll workflows. |
Whether your team works on the shop floor or at a customer’s job, ask whether labor hours are the missing information or whether you also need location and scheduling tools. MinuteMill fits the first question when employees have an internet connection. Workyard is worth evaluating when field coordination is part of the same problem.
MinuteMill records employee labor hours. It does not calculate wages, payroll taxes, or overtime rules. If those are part of your purchase decision, check the complete workflow you need before choosing.

What if someone forgets to stop?
In MinuteMill, a manager can correct the entry and record the reason. The original start and stop times are retained with the correction. Employees can add notes to explain what happened, but cannot edit their own recorded times.
Closing the page or locking a phone keeps the current timer running. Starting, stopping, switching, and saving notes require an internet connection. The getting started guide shows how to set up the first jobs and review the first day.
