“Track guard attendance across locations by tying clock-ins to client sites, schedules, and timesheet review.”
To track guard attendance across multiple locations, security companies need more than clock-in times. They need to know which client site the attendance belongs to and whether the record matches the schedule.
That site context is what turns attendance into a useful operating record.
Build site records first
Start by creating clients, job sites, and departments where needed. If a guard works across locations, the attendance record should connect to the correct site.
Without that structure, payroll teams may know the hours but not where the work happened.
Use geofenced attendance
Geofencing can help confirm that a guard is near the assigned site when clocking in or out. This reduces the chance of wrong-site clock-ins and gives managers stronger review context.
Geofencing should be understood as an attendance check, not continuous off-the-clock tracking.
Add supervisor confirmation when needed
For sites with supervisors, OTP attendance can help confirm that a guard is present. This is useful when direct confirmation is needed without a shared kiosk.
