This article guides setting up Protiv automations for construction projects, focusing on crew/team tracking, handling prevailing wage jobs, and addressing concerns in maintenance projects to ensure accurate tracking and bonus calculations.
In the construction industry, managing work tickets and ensuring accurate bonus calculations can be complex. Protiv simplifies this process with its automation features. Let's explore how to set up automations tailored for construction jobs.
Setting Up Automations Based on Crew Leads or Teams 👥
Protiv allows you to create automations that trigger ProPay (bonus opportunity) creation based on specific criteria. You can choose to create ProPays for:
- All jobs: This option creates ProPays for every job in your system.
- Specific crew leads: This option allows you to select individual crew leads and create ProPays only for the jobs they are assigned to.
The automation can be further customized to start:
- When the job creation date is on or after a specific date: This ensures that ProPays are created only for new jobs.
- When the worker clock-in date is on or after a specific date (optional): This adds another layer of control, triggering ProPay creation only when workers start clocking in on a job.
Handling Prevailing Wage Jobs 💼
Prevailing wage jobs often have different wage rates than regular jobs. Protiv allows you to flag these jobs so they are grouped and calculated correctly. The system will calculate bonuses for prevailing wage jobs based on the worker's base wage, not including fringe benefits. This ensures accurate bonus calculations and avoids disproportionately high bonuses.
Addressing Concerns about Maintenance Projects 🛠️
Some contractors have concerns about using Protiv for maintenance projects, fearing that workers might rush through tasks to earn bonuses faster, potentially compromising quality. Protiv addresses this by:
- Allowing you to set realistic goals and expectations: You can adjust schedules and set achievable targets to ensure workers maintain quality while still earning bonuses.
- Providing flexibility in bonus payouts: You don't have to pay bonuses immediately. You can implement a waiting period for quality reviews or address any callbacks before releasing bonuses.
- Encouraging open communication with your team: Discuss the importance of quality and how Protiv can benefit both the company and its workers.
