Geofencing Requirement and Employee Override

Overview

When the Require Geofence to Punch setting is enabled in System Settings, all employees will be required to be assigned to a geofence in order to punch in or out using the mobile app.

If an employee is not assigned to a geofence, they will be unable to clock in or out.

In cases where a specific employee should be exempt from this requirement, you can override the geofence setting within their employee profile.

How to Exempt an Employee from Geofencing

1. Navigate to the Employees section.
2. Locate and select the employee you would like to update.
3. Click the Access tab at the top of the page.
4. Next to Allow Login to Mobile, click Details.
5. Under Geofence Requirements, select Do not require Geofence.
6. Click Save and Exit.

Result

The selected employee will no longer be required to be within a geofence to punch in or out using the mobile app.

Important Notes

• When Require Geofence to Punch is enabled, all employees must either:
  • Be assigned to a geofence, or
  • Have the geofence requirement overridden in their profile.
• This override only applies to the selected employee and does not impact other employees in the system.
