How Workyard Helped Green Wall Tech Achieve Compliance & Streamline Payroll

Company Background

GREEN WALL TECH, INC is a construction company based out of Fremont, California, United States.

The Challenge

In California’s construction industry, one payroll mistake can trigger a legal and financial nightmare. A single compliance violation can cost thousands in fines—or even shut down a business. That’s the risk Green Wall Tech faced before Workyard.

Green Wall Tech, a drywall and plaster subcontractor in California, struggled with time tracking and payroll compliance due to the state's strict wage and hour laws. The company needed a minute-by-minute timekeeping solution that met California’s strict wage and hour laws without disrupting workers in the field.

Before Workyard, time tracking relied on foremen manually recording hours for their crews on paper time cards, leading to compliance risks and payroll errors. Digital solutions were attempted, but they fell short—either failing to meet California’s legal standards or not integrating smoothly with payroll. Without a reliable system, Green Wall Tech was exposed to potential wage disputes and compliance penalties, putting the business at risk.

“California wants it down to the minute, right? It wants an exact clock in; it wants an exact clock out. So we needed a solution that would be easy enough for guys that want almost zero administrative responsibility whatsoever for them to be able to work to meet those kinds of standards. And Workyard was that kind of solution. It’s very easy for guys that don’t want something complicated to clock in, hit their job, hit their cost code, and then just get to work." — James Monzello, CFO, Green Wall Tech

The company faced unnecessary risks and inefficiencies in its payroll process without a solution that ensured compliance and simplified employee time tracking.

Solution

With strict compliance laws and a workforce that needed a simple solution, Green Wall Tech turned to Workyard for its ease of use and reliability. Workyard stood out because it met three key needs: 

• Strict California compliance – ensuring every minute was accurately recorded
• Ease of use – designed for field crews who dislike administrative tasks
• Seamless payroll integration – eliminating errors and manual work

A key feature was time attestation, which allows employees to certify their own hours—eliminating the need for costly DocuSign attestations and ensuring payroll accuracy. To drive adoption, Green Wall Tech integrated Workyard into its new hire orientation, ensuring workers were trained to clock in and track time correctly from day one.

“An extra five minutes in orientation to get them set up correctly is well worth it.”

Outcome

With Workyard, Green Wall Tech eliminated compliance risks and payroll errors, making time tracking effortless and fully aligned with California’s strict labor laws.

“With Workyard, we’ve seen them continue to develop and refine and meet needs that we have. One example of that for right now is the time attestation feature, where all the time cards are able to be certified by the employees. You know, prior to that, we were spending a lot of money with DocuSign to get our attestations. And compliance has to be number one because the liability there can break your business.” — James Monzello, CFO, Green Wall Tech
