Modern Timesheet -Web Time Clock – Geolocation and Geo Tracking

The Modern version supports both Geolocation and Geofencing. Each feature serves a different purpose in how employee punches are recorded and controlled.

Feature Comparison

Geolocation

• What It Does: Captures the employee’s location if they allow it.
• User Control: The user can allow or deny location tracking.
• Enforcement: No enforcement — the punch still records even if location access is denied.
• Example / How It Works: Employees clock in/out from a published website on their mobile devices. The system prompts them to allow location tracking before recording their punch. If they deny location access, the punch is still recorded, but no location data is captured. The URL can be saved to the phone’s home screen for quick access. This feature does not include geofencing and cannot force users to enable location tracking.

Geofencing

• What It Does: Blocks punches outside a defined radius around a work location.
• User Control: Users cannot bypass geofence rules.
• Enforcement: Enforced by the system — punches outside the radius are blocked.
• Example / How It Works: If the Bill To Location is set to 450 Old Peachtree Rd and the WebTime Radius is set to 10 miles, then:
• Users inside the 10‑mile radius can clock in/out.
• Users outside the 10‑mile radius cannot clock in/out. This ensures punches are only recorded when employees are physically near the designated work location.
