How can you use the app to track employees using geolocation?
Knowing where your employees are and being able to check that they are working where you need them to be can provide great reassurance, not only for you as an employer but also for your clients, should you need to justify labour costs for a business proposal or invoice.
The clocking in app accurately records clocking data, along with the location where the worker actually clocks in.
It does not, of course, track their phone at any other time, purely at the moment of clock in and clock out, so there are no privacy issues for you or your workers to be concerned about. There are strict data protection and privacy laws in place regarding this matter and they are fully respected.
When it comes to geolocation, there are two options you can choose from:
Global will record the actual geographical position of the employee clocking in, wherever they are in the UK, or around the world.
Fixed UK location (or locations) gives you the option of ringfencing*.
*This involves setting a radius within which an employee is physically able to clock in. If a worker attempts to clock in from further afield, therefore outside of the specified ringfenced radius, they won’t be able to do so until they move within the set area.
