WORKSITE OPERATIONS · Workflow idea

Keep attendance records clear while treating location data with care.

For an employer with an appropriate and clearly disclosed attendance process, review location-based entry and exit events for a designated worksite and organize them into a dated record. Location signals can be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable, and a geofence event alone does not prove time worked. Explain tracking to workers, collect only what is necessary, restrict access, and require a supervisor to review exceptions before using records for payroll or employment decisions.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A disclosed attendance process, an approved site boundary, and a restricted attendance record

“Record likely arrivals and departures without treating location data as conclusive proof of attendance.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a site team organize reported location events into entry and exit attendance records and flag issues for review.

  1. Confirm the site and attendance purpose

    Check the approved work location, boundary, reporting period, and use of the record.

  2. Review worker notice and tracking choice

    Make sure workers understand when location is collected and how attendance data is used.

  3. Check entry and exit events for accuracy

    Review timestamps, location uncertainty, missing events, and possible duplicate records.

  4. Limit access to attendance and location data

    Share records only with authorized staff and retain only what policy requires.

  5. Approve corrections and employment-related use

    Let a supervisor verify exceptions and give workers a way to challenge an inaccurate record.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A dated entry-and-exit log with source details, exceptions, and supervisor review status.

Keep in mind

GPS can drift, fail indoors, or report a device rather than the worker. Follow applicable workplace privacy and labor rules, provide clear notice, protect location history, offer a correction process, and never rely on a geofence event alone for pay or disciplinary decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Provide clear worker notice and policy

Explain location collection, purpose, access, retention, and available alternatives or corrections.

Set and verify each worksite boundary

Use the correct location and a reasonable radius, then test likely edge cases.

Define data quality and exception handling

Account for GPS error, device failure, missed events, and time-zone differences.

Keep payroll and personnel decisions human-reviewed

Require supervisor verification and a fair correction process before consequential use.
