Labor Ledger — Workforce & Payment Management System 🏗️💰

Labor Ledger is a full-stack web application designed to streamline construction site workforce management and wage tracking.

Managing labor records manually on construction sites often leads to calculation mistakes, lost records, and lack of transparency. Labor Ledger solves this problem by providing a centralized digital platform where contractors and site managers can efficiently manage workers, track attendance, and monitor payments.

The system enables users to maintain a structured ledger of worker activities and payments, ensuring accurate wage calculation and clear financial tracking.
