Capture travel time from the app

The Syncro Connect app works on iOS and Android and records travel time for your remote and mobile teams accurately, with the minimum of fuss. It also captures the location at each clock, so you have a verified record of where each job started and finished. For more on the location side, see GPS clocking.

Why recording travel time matters

For staff without a fixed workplace, time spent travelling between jobs can count as working time under the working time regulations. Getting that record right protects both your business and your staff.

Fair, accurate pay

Staff are paid correctly for the time they spend travelling between jobs, with no disputes over estimated hours.

Compliance and records

A clear, time-stamped record of travel supports working time and minimum wage compliance if you are ever asked to show it.

True cost of every job

Travel logged against job or case numbers shows the real labour cost of each job, not just the time on site.

Travel time FAQs

How do you record travel time between jobs?
Staff clock out at one job and clock in at the next using the Syncro Connect app on their phone. The time and distance between the two is captured automatically, giving you an accurate travel record with no paper mileage logs.
Is travel time counted as working time?
For staff without a fixed workplace, time spent travelling between jobs can count as working time under the working time regulations. The exact position depends on the circumstances, so it is worth taking advice, but an accurate record of travel makes it far easier to pay staff correctly and stay compliant.
Can travel time be logged against specific jobs?
Yes. Travel can be logged against specific job or case numbers, so you can see the true labour cost of each job, including time on the road, not just the time on site.
What devices does it work on?
It works on any iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, usually the employee’s own device. There is no fixed terminal to install, so staff can clock in and out from any job or site.
What happens if a worker loses signal?
The clocking is held safely on the device if a worker travels out of range or loses connection, then syncs automatically when they are back online. No travel records are lost.
Do travel hours flow through to payroll?
Yes. Approved travel and working hours flow into payroll with direct Sage Payroll integration and export for Pegasus and QuickBooks, so there is no manual re-keying.
