Set a per‑site GPS radius so clock‑ins only work at the job location. Staff use mobile to clock in; the button is disabled until they’re inside the geofence. Pair with time tolerance for fair grace windows and photo proof for extra verification
Set GPS radius per site using Google Maps
Enable mobile clock-ins only within the geofence
Control with time tolerance and photo proof
RosterElf uses smart GPS zones to ensure every clock-in is accurate and on-site — protecting your timesheets and keeping payroll fair.
Define a GPS zone around each work location using Google Maps or Plus Codes. Staff can only clock in when they’re physically inside the approved area.
The clock-in button stays disabled until the employee enters the geofence. No more off-site or early clock-ins — just verified attendance.
Combine GPS rules with time tolerance and optional photo proof to allow fair grace periods while maintaining accountability.
Set a GPS boundary around each worksite so staff can only clock in or out when physically on location.
Automatic GPS verification ensures every clock-in is tied to the correct site — no manual corrections needed.
Location-verified records mean fewer time disputes and faster approval of accurate hours.
Combine GPS tracking with photo proof and time tolerance to meet Fair Work and privacy standards.
View who’s clocked in, late, on break, or out — all in real time across sites via the Live Time Clock dashboard.
Add or edit GPS zones using Google Maps or Plus Codes directly inside RosterElf — no extra hardware required.
GPS geofencing questions? We have the answers.
GPS geofencing is a location-based technology that creates a virtual boundary — or “fence” — around a real-world area such as a workplace, site or store. When an employee’s mobile device enters or leaves that zone, the system automatically detects it and triggers specific actions, like clock-in reminders or access restrictions.
In workforce management, GPS geofencing ensures employees are physically on-site when clocking in or out. It helps prevent time theft, improves accuracy in attendance data and ensures compliance with Fair Work and safety requirements.
Businesses can set a custom radius for each site, so clock-ins are only accepted when staff are within that range. If someone tries to clock in outside the geofence — for example, from home or another location — the system blocks it and sends a notification to both employee and manager.
When combined with RosterElf’s GPS Time Clock, geofencing provides a powerful layer of accountability and automation. Every clock event includes a verified location stamp, giving managers confidence that hours worked are legitimate, accurate and audit-ready.
In short, GPS geofencing helps businesses ensure staff are where they need to be, reduces payroll errors, and builds trust across teams by bringing transparency to time and attendance.
