Clocking In & Out
Instructions for employees on how to perform location-verified clock-ins and clock-outs.
Clocking In & Out
WorkClock HQ utilizes strict location verification (geofencing) to record exact shift timestamps and ensure that employee attendance is logged on-site.
π Location Status Indicators
When you open your dashboard, the app automatically checks your GPS coordinates against your assigned workplace. Your location state is represented by color-coded indicators:
| Indicator Color | Status Meaning | Action Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| π’ Green | Inside approved work area | You are within the authorized geofence radius. You are permitted to Clock In. |
| π΄ Red | Clocked In (Active Session) | You are within the approved location, have an active shift running, and can tap the button to Clock Out. |
| β« Gray | Outside approved work area | You are not within the designated workplace radius. You cannot clock in or clock out. |
πΊοΈ Visualizing Work Location (Map Interface)
You can tap the location status card to view the interactive map:
- Blue Pin / Dot: Represents your current physical location retrieved via your device's GPS.
- Dark Blue Circle: Demarcates the boundary of your organization's designated geofence radius.
- Assigned Location Name: Displays the name of your branch (e.g., Head Quarters) and your current distance from the center point (e.g., 0 m away).
