When you create a geofence site for a job in the Time Clock, employees can only clock in/out for that job if they’re inside the geographic area you set for that specific job.
Because geofencing is tied to the job itself, you can’t exclude specific employees from the location requirement for that same job.
Instead, here are a few workarounds that can help:
Create a New Job Not Attached to a Fence
If you want some employees to clock in without being restricted by a geofence, you can create a new job that is not attached to a geofence, and then qualify only the relevant employees to that job.
This results in:
Job X: Attached to a geofence (employees must be on-site to clock in/out)
Job Y: Not attached to a geofence (employees can clock in/out from anywhere)
Example:
If you’re a construction company with a job called Roofing, you can:
Create Roofing A, qualify your on-site workers, and attach it to a geofence for a specific construction site.
Create Roofing B, qualify only workers who don’t need to be on-site to clock in/out.
Employees clocking into Roofing B can clock in from anywhere, while employees clocking into Roofing A must be inside the geofence.
💡 Tip: All users in the Time Clock will still be required to share their location to clock in/out, even if the job is not geofenced.
Create a New Time Clock
Alternatively, you can create separate Time Clocks:
Time Clock 1: For users who must follow geofence sites and share their location to clock in/out
Time Clock 2: For users who are not restricted by geofences
To create another Time Clock, go to the Time Clock Lobby and click Add New.
