Geofencing time clock

Geofencing confirms employees are where they say they are.

Clockspot compares each web clock-in with the GPS areas, IP networks, and browsers you approve. A GPS match verifies the event and can identify the Work Site when that site fits the selected job. Choose whether an unmatched clock-in is allowed, recorded with a warning, or blocked outright.

Draw a GPS area inside each Work Site

Drop a pin on the Work Site and set its radius. A clock event inside the circle verifies that GPS approval and can establish the site when it fits the selected job.

Approve an office network or browser separately

If GPS is not reliable indoors, approve the office IP network or a specific browser and optionally associate that approval with the Work Site.

Flag an unmatched clock-in, or block it outright

Record the shift with a warning so the employee still gets paid, or refuse the clock-in until an applicable approval matches.

Unmatched clock-ins

You decide what happens when nothing matches.

You pick what happens when an employee clocks in and an applicable clocking approval does not match: let it through, record it with a warning, or refuse the clock-in.

Customer story

Keep clock-ins tied to the places you approve.

I can log in from anywhere and see exactly when my employees clocked in. It is also nice that I can restrict where they clock in from.

Common questions

Questions about geofenced clock-ins.

  • GPS radius
  • IP and browser approvals
  • Optional clock-in blocking
What is a geofencing time clock?

A geofencing time clock compares an employee’s event coordinates with a GPS area configured for a Work Site. Clockspot can also verify clock-ins through separate approved IP-network, browser, or phone-caller-ID records.

Can Clockspot block clock-ins outside approved GPS areas?

Yes. Choose Block clock-in to refuse a web clock-in when no approved GPS area, network, or browser matches. A matching network or browser still verifies the event even when GPS does not. Clock-out is never blocked, and phone clocking is controlled separately.

Can a Work Site use more than GPS?

A Work Site can have one or more GPS areas. Approved IP networks, browsers, and phone caller IDs are separate clocking approvals that can optionally be associated with the same Work Site.

What happens when a clock-in does not match an applicable approval?

You pick what happens: Clockspot lets the clock-in through, records it with a warning for review, or refuses it. The policy applies when at least one clocking approval applies to the event and the event does not satisfy it.

Try Clockspot and see every clock-in land where it should.

Set up your clocking approvals in a few minutes, then let Clockspot flag the clock-ins that do not match.
