Yes, you can prevent an employee from clocking out from outside a geofence with the Auto Clock-Out capability.
Enabling this feature automatically clocks out employees the moment they leave your designated worksites. Connecteam's geofence feature allows you to restrict employee clock-ins and clock-outs to a designated workplace, ensuring they can only clock in and out at a certain location.
💡 Important: It doesn’t matter how a user clocks in — whether through the mobile app or using NFC. If they exit the geofence, they will be automatically clocked out as long as Auto Clock-Out from geofence is enabled in the settings and location services are active
