If you wish to see your employees clock in locations, then you've arrived at the right place! Our Time Clock offers a GPS location stamp for the clock in/out.

Allowing you to know the location of where your employees have clocked in or out, allowing you to feel secure and run your business smoother knowing that your employees are at the right place and at the right time.

In this article, we will cover:

How to Setup Geo Location

To track employee locations during clock-ins and clock-outs, go to Time Clock > Settings > Geolocation tab. Here you can turn location tracking on or off by selecting your preferred option.

To capture employee locations during clock-ins and clock-outs, select the 'Clock in and Out' option.

  • Optional: your employees can clock in/out regardless of having the GPS deactivated in their smartphones - simply click on the 'Clock in and Out'.

  • Required: your employees will have to activate their device's GPS to clock in/out, To have that applied you must toggle on 'Users must enable location sharing to clock in & out'.

  • Off: your employees won't need their GPS location turned on at all.

This is how the setting should look if you want your employees to share their GPS location during clock-in.

💡Tip: For tracking your employees' live location while they're on the move, we recommend using the Breadcrumbs capability.

If you've selected 'Clock in & out' and toggle on 'Users must enable location sharing to clock in & out'. Your users won't be able to clock in/out without enabling their GPS.

From the employee's mobile perspective, this is how it would appear:

How to View Users' Locations

Once your employees clock in/out, you will be able to see their location stamp on the timesheet.

To do so, simply go to the Today tab or the Timesheet tab and hover your mouse over the employee’s start/end time. Then, the location address will pop up.

You can also do it from the employee’s time card:

💡 Tip: Our Time Clock feature offers more ways to capture your employee's location! With abilities such as live tracking, you’ll be able to track your employee's location and with Geofence you’ll be able to limit where your employees will be able to clock in and out from!
