Company Admin Role

The Company Admin sits at the top of the authority chain. They are the ones who give the final sign-off in the dual-approval workflow and have full control over everything in the system.

Responsibilities

Project Management

• Create, edit, and archive construction projects
• Set when projects start and end
• Assign and remove project managers from projects
• Mark projects as active, completed, or archived

Worker Management

• Register new workers using their National Identity Card (NIC) and Employee ID
• Assign workers to projects (a worker can be on more than one project at the same time)
• Define worker types along with their pay rates
• Activate or deactivate workers
• Set individual rate overrides for specific workers on specific projects

Worker Types and Rate Configuration

• Create and manage worker type categories (for example, Mason, Laborer, Carpenter)
• Set rates for each worker type:
  • Daily Base Advance -- the fixed daily amount handed out as a cash advance (this is optional and can be left blank)
  • Regular Hourly Rate -- what the worker earns per hour during standard working hours
  • Overtime Hourly Rate -- what the worker earns per hour for overtime
• Override these rates on a per-worker, per-project basis when needed

Attendance Oversight

• View all attendance records across every project
• Give final approval on worker verification submissions (the second step of the dual-approval process)
• Approve or reject backdated attendance entries
• Directly create or edit attendance records (the system keeps track of who made the changes and when)
• Manually override total hours when the situation calls for it

Special Payments

• Approve special payment requests for workers who fall below the minimum hours threshold
• Set custom payment amounts along with the reason for each

Payment Processing

• See which workers are due for payment at the end of a cycle
• Calculate worker payments (regular earnings plus overtime earnings, minus daily advances and special advances)
• Process payments and mark them as paid
• Browse payment history with filtering and pagination
• See per-project breakdowns for workers who work across multiple sites

Special Advance (Loan) Management

• Review special advance requests that come in from managers
• Approve, reject, or make a counter-offer on the amount
• Go through negotiation rounds (up to a configurable maximum)
• Lock in the final advance amount
• Track how those advances get deducted from payment cycles

Project Stoppages

• Approve or reject stoppages declared by managers (things like rain, equipment failure, and so on)
• Override the stoppage payment amount for individual workers
• Restart projects once a stoppage has been resolved

Reports

• Generate attendance reports across projects and date ranges
• View payment summaries and statistics
• Access project-level reports with detailed worker breakdowns

Manager Management

• Create manager accounts with temporary passwords
• Assign managers to projects (with a primary or secondary designation)
• Remove managers from projects

System Settings

• Configure system-wide settings (for example, the maximum number of negotiation rounds for special advances)
