Clock in, clock out, and what the geofence does

How time capture works on site, what location is and is not recorded, and how lunch comes off.

Time and crew · 23 August 2026 · 3 min read

Techs clock in from the job card on their phone. If the job requires a signed safety form, the clock-in will not start until it is signed: no signed form, no timer.

What the geofence actually records

Location is captured once, at clock-in, and checked against the site. An off-site clock-in is flagged for the office rather than blocked, because a field worker must always be able to get on the clock. Location is never tracked in between, and your business can turn location capture off entirely.

Clocking out

At clock-out the worker enters their lunch, and it comes off the entry. A malformed entry never blocks the clock-out itself; getting off the clock always works.

Then the timesheet is already built

Entries roll up into timesheets for approval, runaway timers get flagged before they poison the payroll, and approved hours export shaped for iPayroll.
