GPS Time Clock: How Location-Verified Clock-In Works
8/28/2026
A GPS time clock is a clock-in that captures where the punch happened, not just when. For any team that works away from an office — guards, cleaners, drivers, caregivers, technicians — that single extra field changes how much you can trust a timesheet.
What gets recorded
On each punch, QofaWork stores the time, the worker, the assigned job or site, and the device location at the moment of the tap. Nothing is recorded between punches.
Why it stops buddy punching
A shared paper sheet or a kiosk code can be filled in by anyone. A punch tied to a person's own device and a coordinate can be checked against the site address in seconds. When a punch lands far from the site, it shows up as an exception instead of quietly becoming payable hours.
Rolling it out
- Add your sites with their real addresses.
- Turn on geofencing so out-of-area punches are flagged automatically.
- Tell your team plainly what is captured and when — consent and clarity prevent most pushback.
- Review exceptions weekly before hours flow into payroll.
Where hours go next
Approved hours become pay stubs with an approval trail, for both employees and contractors. QofaWork keeps the records; your bank or check run moves the money.
