TimeWorksPlus Has Geofencing!

If you need to know whether or not your employees are working in the correct location, you need Geofencing.

 

What is Geofencing?

Geofencing is a mobile tracking tool that can designate a virtual boundary. The virtual boundary is aptly referred to as a geofence and is based on an actual, physical location.

The Geofence Triggers an Action

Creating a virtual boundary is the first step. The second part is the action that occurs when a connected mobile device (and its owner) enters the geofence. A parental monitoring app, for example, can send a text to a parent when their child arrives home.

How Do You Use Geofencing in TimeWorksPlus?

In TimeWorksPlus, you have the ability to draw a geofence around a site on a map. As you assign employees to the geofence, TimeWorksPlus tracks their location relative to the boundaries you set.

 

Benefits of TimeWorksPlus Geofencing:


  • Quickly view out-of-bounds punches

  • Identify team members who clock in or out beyond their authorized location

  • Receive an indication if a punch occurs outside the fence

  • Create reports of punch times and locations for a specific employee or group

  • Track mobile employee hours for better payroll accuracy

  • Retain time cards for FLSA recordkeeping

  • Prevent employees from having to fill out time cards

  • Enforce time and attendance guidelines

  • Employees know when they are on the job site

  • Track hours per project or job location

 

Dealing With Employee Time Theft?

TimeWorksPlus with geofencing is your solution. With this system in place, employees cannot clock in when they are not in their authorized work location. For additional time theft prevention, schedule enforcement is also available.

Oversight for Time AND Place

Geofencing restricts out-of-bounds punches, while schedule enforcement restricts out-of-schedule punches. For example, you can restrict employees from clocking in more than ten minutes before their shift begins.

TimeWorksPlus makes sure your mobile employees are WHERE they should be, WHEN they should be.
