Snap the Paper Timecard. Get a Coded One Back.
Plenty of crews still run on paper timecards, and re-keying them is slow and error-prone. The Paper Timecard Agent would turn a photo of a handwritten timecard into a coded digital timecard - names, hours, cost codes - ready for a human to review before it hits payroll.

Paper in, coded hours out
The paper timecard is not going away on every job, so the honest move is to make it fast to digitize rather than pretend it does not exist. The Paper Timecard Agent would read a photo of a handwritten card, extract the names, the hours by day, and the cost codes, and produce a coded digital timecard. Low-confidence reads would be flagged, and a human would confirm before anything reached payroll - the agent drafts, it does not pay.
Into the same field-hours record
A confirmed timecard would land in the same connected field-hours record that drives job cost, payroll, and the certified-payroll and prevailing-wage engine in build - so a paper crew and a digital crew end up in one place. The pay run that follows is governed and sealed like any other, and because real payroll anomaly detection runs there today, a digitized card with an odd pattern gets the same scrutiny as any other run.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What is the Paper Timecard Agent?
It is a proposed AI agent that turns a photo of a handwritten paper timecard into a coded digital timecard - names, hours, and cost codes - flagging low-confidence reads and routing to a human for confirmation before anything reaches payroll.
Is the Paper Timecard Agent live today?
No. Photo-to-timecard capture is on the roadmap. The connected field-hours record it would feed, the governed pay run, and real payroll anomaly detection are live today.
Does a bad read become a wrong paycheck?
No. The agent flags what it is unsure about and routes it to a human to confirm before anything reaches payroll, so a low-confidence read is a prompt, not a silent error.
Where do the digitized hours go?
A confirmed timecard lands in the same connected field-hours record that drives job cost and payroll, including the prevailing-wage engine in build, so paper and digital crews end up in one governed place.
