Stories From the Field: How FCA's Platform Exposed Fraudulent Worker Claims

 Verifiable Data: The Key to Protecting Your Project 

In construction, false worker claims can become an expensive problem, leading to unnecessary insurance payouts, legal complications, and administrative headaches. But what if you had the data to verify whether a worker was ever on-site immediately? 

That’s exactly what happened on a new Casino project. The Safety Manager turned to Field Control Analytics after receiving three fraudulent worker claims. Using our platform’s workforce tracking data, the team was able to verify: 

🔹 Whether these workers were ever onboarded to the project 
🔹 If they had ever clocked in or out 
🔹 Whether they were assigned to the job in any capacity 

The result? The claims were proven false. FCA’s data, combined with orientation records, provided the evidence needed to contest the claims and avoid unnecessary costs. 

Why this matters

This case underscores the power of real-time workforce data in risk management, insurance verification, and compliance. When contractors rely on paper sign-in sheets or manual logs, they’re more vulnerable to: 

Fraudulent claims 

Discrepancies in worker records 

Compliance risks 

With Field Control Analytics, GCs and safety teams have a digital, time-stamped record of every worker on-site. This means that when issues arise, they have the proof they need—immediately. 

The bigger picture: protecting your business

Beyond preventing fraudulent claims, access control technology helps GCs: 

Reduce liability and insurance risks 

Improve jobsite safety by ensuring only approved workers enter 

Streamline workforce tracking for compliance and reporting
