How to Enable Clock In/Out Location Tracking Without Location Restriction

Learn how to set up location tracking for employee clock-in/out in BrioHR’s Time Attendance Policy without restricting location. Step-by-step guide included.

Introduction

Location tracking in BrioHR allows employers to capture employees’ clock-in/out coordinates without restricting them to a specific address. This feature provides flexibility for employees while ensuring employers retain accurate attendance records.

When location tracking is enabled, employees must clock in/out using the BrioHR mobile app, which captures GPS coordinates automatically.

Benefits of Location Tracking in Time Attendance

  • Flexibility for Employees: Employees can clock in/out from any location without restrictions.
  • Accurate Attendance Date: Employers can view the location coordinates where clock in/out occured.
  • Improved Compliance: Helps maintain accurate timekeeping records for HR purposes.
