FAQ's
Once Sydney Trains Site Representative approves the work
log, can the operator still amend the hours?
Once the
docket is submitted by the Sydney Trains Site representative no changes can be
made on the actual work log. Ideally any discrepancy should be addressed on
site prior to the work log being approved and submitted. If both parties cannot
agree the work log should still be submitted and the supplier can contest the
hours by initiating a review process with Plant Hire Services.
Where do you find all the work logs that are pending
confirmation?
Each Sydney
Trains Site Representative will have access to the Work Log table. In this
section is where you can find the Work Log submitted, both confirmed and pending
approval. If you have been listed as a participant on the booking you will be able
to see the order details; however, if you are not listed as a participant but you
will be responsible for reviewing and approving the Work Log onsite you can
still access the work logs.
Why do we need to record the actual hours for
attachments?
As we do have
chargeable attachments against machines in the catalogue, we need to record the
number of hours it was used for (estimate is fine), as this will dictate the
payment. In addition,
capturing the utilisation of attachments allows us to gather data for reporting
purposes.
Will the app work offline?
Yes.
Do the operators see the supplier performance that was
submitted?
The supplier
performance feedback is not sent to the supplier or operator. Once you submit
the form it will workflow to PHS only. The supplier will only receive the approved
work log.
Can SWMS be requested when machines are booked and added
to the booking details?
Yes. You can
request the supplier to send the document through the chat feature in the
bookings table if you are a participant.
If you are not a participant, do you still have access to
confirm worked hours, view HEC, SWMS, etc?
You have
access to the work log table to verify and approve the worked hours; however,
you do not have access to view SWMS or the booking details unless you are added
as a participant.
Can a participant add another participant to the HEC?
Yes.
Will this work log process only work on a mobile device?
Operators
will need to complete the work log onsite, so they need to ensure that they
have the Aquipa Mobile App available on a mobile phone or iPad.
Does Sydney Trains Site Representative get notified to
certify the dockets?
They will not
receive any notification, but the operator should be asking the Sydney Trains
Site Representative to verify and approve the Work Log once they submit it.
Is there minimum hire on chargeable attachments?
The supplier
is entitled to minimum hours on machine and attachments; however, worklog
should be a record of the actual hours.
Does a copy of the work logs go to the receipting officer
for payment after approval?
The
receipting officer will be able to access all Work Logs via Work Log table.
Is the Normal time / Over time entered manually?
Operators must
manually enter in their actual hours worked, but the system will also automatically
capture the check in and check out time which will be displayed on the work log
summary.
Can the operator leave the site before their docket is
approved?
The operator
should get the Work Log approved before leaving site.
Will the PDF now replace the paper docket?
The Work Log
summary replaces the Plant Hire paper docket, and this can be downloaded as a
PDF.
What happens if there is a shift continuity overlap?
The second
operator or relieving operator will need to check in at the time that they are going
to start their shift i.e., operate the machine, and not the time they attended
site for the induction. The operator can place a note in the comments field
that they attended site 30 minutes prior to their shift for site induction.
Is it one work log per shift?
Yes. When there are multiple shifts against a booking the same
booking ID number is used but followed with a dash and the sequential numbers. E.g.,
933B7378-1, 933B7378-2
Will this PDF be attached with the invoice in ARIBA by supplier?
The supplier
will upload the work log summary as a supporting document when they upload
their invoice; however, you can also access it via the Work Log table.
Where do you see the location the operator checked in?
There is a
geolocation that will appear on the work log, and in addition the actual
address that was noted on the booking will appear on the work log summary under
the ‘check in’ and ‘check out’ section.
How many people can be listed as a participant for a
single project?
Multiple
people can be added to the participants sections of the bookings.
Can we incorporate the suppliers prestart check list as
part of this work log process?

this is not part of the Work Log process at present.
