Field Log 101
What is your Employee PIN?
First 4 or all digits of Employee ID#
True or False: It is acceptable for employees to make a line or dot when signing out for their time.
FALSE! Employees must LEGALLY provide an actual signature. It does not need to be "perfect," but it CANNOT just be a line or dot. If an employee is not able to write, they must make an "X".
If a foreman is absent, who will take over filling in their field log and having their crew sign off on their time?
General Foreman
True or False: If multiple operators use the same piece of equipment, that equipment needs to be duplicated in the Field Log so each Operator's time using the equipment can be logged separately.
TRUE!
True or False: You can attach photos and notes of an injury when filling out the time card
True. If an employee was injured, they should tap "Yes" under "Were you injured." You can also attach notes and photos of the injury.
True or False: If a foreman shares their iPad with another foreman so they can complete their field log on it, the first foreman does NOT need to log out of B2W beforehand.
False. Whoever borrows the iPad needs to sign in to their own B2W account.
Does a Foreman hit "Validate and Save" or "Validate and Submit" when they are done?
Validate and Save (NOT Validate or Validate and Submit)
Fill in the Blank: Before Payroll is Transferred...
...review correct employee hours, phase codes, and _____ work / ____ work times.
...review correct employee hours, phase codes, and [START] work / [STOP] work times.
True or False: Incorrect hours worked and incorrect employee names on field logs rarely cause errors.
False. If a foreman gets an error, double check the work start/work stop times and hours entered to make sure they match. If a specific name is displayed in the error message make sure they have the correct employee on the field log by verifying their employee number.
True or False: You can increase your sync speed by splitting your crew members among multiple Field Logs
TRUE. If you have a large number of employees (or equipment, or phase codes) on one Field Log, it will take longer for that Field Log to sync.
True or false: A foreman can sign a crew member's name on their time card if the crew member left site for a medical emergency.
FALSE!!! NEVER do this. You must sign your OWN name and write in the notes that the employee was injured and left site. It is a legal issue AND has caused crew members to not get paid in the past!
If a foreman gets an error or something isn't processing correctly, who on site should they reach out to?
The GF, Field Engineer or Site Admin.
When do Field Logs need to be Validated & Saved by Foremen?
All Field Logs need to be Validated and Saved by EOD. Field Logs must be APPROVED by the FE by 7:00 AM the next day on Mondays and 10:00 AM the next day Tuesday-Sunday.
What does the crew member need to do again if the GF or FE rejects a Field Log and the FM resubmits it?
The crew member must sign off on that time card again.
True or False: You can have your crews sign out for the day while traveling back to the parking lot at EOD.
TRUE! You do not need WiFi to get crew signatures. Just be sure to sync once you are back at the Office Trailer.
