Configuring Geofencing: Admin Guide #

Geofencing allows employers to restrict employees’ clock-in and clock-out to specific locations, such as the office or job sites.

Setting Up Company-Wide Geofencing {audience: admin} #

To configure geofencing, log into the admin portal and follow these steps:

• Access Settings: Click Settings on the left, then Company Settings, and select Geofencing.

• Geofencing Settings: Choose how the system handles clock-ins:

– Block: Restricts clock-ins to the set location.
– Notify: Allows clock-ins anywhere but emails the admin if outside the set location.
– Both: Blocks attempts and notifies the admin.

• Set the Location: Under Geofencing Location, click Select Location to limit from “Everywhere.”

• Add Addresses: Click the Fencing Location (plus icon) to enter specific addresses.

Note: Geofencing is effective only on the mobile app due to better GPS accuracy. Employees should use the mobile app for clocking in and out.

To apply specific geofencing rules for certain employees:

1. Go to Team on the left-hand side.
2. Click the specific employee’s name.
3. Scroll to Geofencing.
4. Click the plus button to add a specific address for that employee.
