Geofencing attendance rules
Use site location rules to reduce early, remote, or wrong-location punches.
Geofencing ties attendance to site location. When enabled, employees need to be within the configured site radius to complete attendance actions.
Before you start
- Add accurate site location details.
- Enable geofencing in organization settings.
- Choose a practical radius for the sites your team uses.
Steps
- Open Organization Settings.
- Review the time and attendance settings.
- Enable geofencing.
- Set the geofence radius.
- Save settings.
- Confirm sites have location details before employees clock in.
- Ask employees to allow browser or device location access.
What good looks like
Employees can clock in and out only when their location meets the site rule, and managers see fewer weak attendance records.
Common mistakes
- Enabling geofencing before site locations are complete.
- Setting a radius too small for large properties.
- Expecting geofencing to fix wrong schedules or wrong site assignments by itself.
