Who is actually on site this morning, and what it costs tonight.
On a worksite, half the people present have neither a contract nor a payslip. On Friday you pay cash against a signature in a notebook. That is where money leaves without a trace.
The share of day workers among those present, on an ordinary day
To register a day worker, photo and ID included
The worksite’s cost, day labour included
What is stuck today
The site manager’s notebook is your only labour accounting
A headcount declared, not observed
The foreman reports 46 men. Nobody can say how many actually turned up.
The same man, twice
A regular registered under two spellings gets paid twice for the same day.
Friday’s envelope
Cash handed out with no trail: no receipt, no charge to the worksite.
Scheduling by worksite
Who works where, and how many men per site
You assign one person or a whole crew in one gesture. A man assigned to two worksites on the same day is flagged before publishing.
WeplanifySCThe worksite, every morning
Assigned, present, gap
The schedule assigns teams by worksite; the clock-in says who arrived. The gap does not wait for month end.
WeplanifySC| Worksite | Assigned | Clocked | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| West worksite | 46 | 42 | −4 |
| North worksite | 18 | 18 | 0 |
| East roadworks | 12 | 13 | +1 |
| Total | 76 | 73 | −3 |
Seven employees not assigned to any worksite appear at the top of the list: they cost money without being charged anywhere.
WeplanifySC| Day worker | Role | Rate | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| M. Sarr | Labourer | 5 000 | present |
| A. Ndour | Steel fixer | 8 000 | present |
| B. Kane | Labourer | 5 000 | duplicate flagged |
| O. Sy | Mason | 9 000 | absent |
Before registering someone, you type their number: if they are already known, their record opens instead of a second one. That is what stops a regular being registered twice.
Pay and charge
Three states, no shortcuts
A day goes from “to approve” to approved, then to paid. A day that has not been approved cannot be paid: paying it would mean paying amounts nobody has checked.
WeplanifySC| Day | Headcount | Amount | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon 6 July | 38 | 241 000 | paid |
| Tue 7 July | 41 | 263 500 | paid |
| Wed 8 July | 44 | 289 000 | approved |
| Thu 9 July | 42 | 274 500 | to approve |
Every settlement carries its method and reference: mobile money, transfer or cash desk. The trail exists.

West worksite is 148,000 F over its labour budget. Seen the next day, not the next month.
Getting started
One pilot worksite is enough
Week 1: your worksites and teams
Worksites, roles, usual daily rates, labour budgets.
Week 2: the day-worker register
Your regulars are registered once, with photo and ID. After that it is just ticking boxes.
End of week: the first traced payment
Day approved, payment sheet signed, settlement recorded.
Month end: the worksite’s real cost
Salaried staff and day workers in one total, compared to budget.
« I used to pay sixty day workers on a Friday with no trail at all. Today every day is signed, paid and charged. »
