Tracking time

Setting up geo-fenced worksites

Lock clock-in to specific job-site locations. Get warnings (or hard blocks) when someone punches outside the geo-fence.

What worksites are

A worksite is a named location with a GPS coordinate and a radius. When an employee tries to clock in, Clox checks their phone's GPS against your worksites. If they're outside all of them, you can either flag the punch (manager sees a warning later) or block it entirely.

Creating a worksite

Go to Worksites (manager view)
Click + Add worksite
Name it (e.g., "Hendrix Job", "Anderson Residence")
Pick the location on the map — drag the pin to the exact spot
Set the radius (default 100m — usually enough for a single building)
Save

Start with a generous radius (100–150m). Large commercial sites or job sites with parking might need 200m+. You can always tighten it later if you see false positives.

Assigning crew members

Crews can be assigned to specific worksites — meaning they can clock in there but nowhere else. Useful when you have rotating crews on dedicated sites.

Open the worksite
Add team members from your roster
Anyone not assigned can't clock in from this worksite

Punches outside the geo-fence

In Settings → Shift behavior, you control what happens when someone tries to clock in outside an assigned worksite:

Warn only (default): punch goes through but is flagged on the manager dashboard.
Hard block: punch is rejected. Employee sees "You need to be at a worksite to clock in."

GPS permission

For geo-fencing to work, employees must grant location permission to their browser or the Clox mobile app. If they decline, geo-fenced clock-in falls back to a warn-only state.
