Square
[New] Clock-in geofencing

Hi sellers! 👋

 

We are excited to introduce our newest feature, clock-in geofencing. Available with a Shifts Plus, Retail Plus, Restaurants Plus, and Appointments premium subscription. 

 

Managing your team's time is a critical job as a Square seller.  The Square Team app is a convenient way to provide freedom and flexibility to your team members, but ensuring that time is accurate requires time out of your day to review and high trust to ensure team members are being honest about when and where they are clocking in.

 

We have heard your feedback to add more security and safeguards to this area and now offer the ability to set up a location-based geofence to ensure your team members are on site when clocking-in for a shift.

 

Geofencing for all your locations

You can have a geofence setup for any or all of your business locations.

 

Set a custom radius for your geofence.
Not all locations are alike. Customize the size of your geofence with a radius that works best for your business to ensure accurate enforcement.

 

Peace of mind

Team members must validate their location prior to clocking-in for a shift.  If unable to verify on the Team App, the POS can still be utilized to ensure time is tracked and you are able to accurately compensate your team.

 

This feature is OFF by default, but can be enabled on the Shifts > Settings > Clock in/out screen.

Great feature. Much appreciated!

 

Can't wait to try it out.

This is a great new feature!!!  Especially for companies that employees are more mobile...like a residential cleaning company for example 🙂

I agree with that! Do your employees meet at your location then drive to the client? Or they go from home straight to client? How long have you been in business? We do mobile detailing so its a very similar biz model!

Can't wait to try it out! So many punches fixed each week 🙃

Please add Clock Out, this function helps but we have more issues with employees leaving for lunch and clocking out for lunch 20 minutes after leaving for lunch and also leaving work early for the day and clocking out from another location after they leave work. Mostly on days they finish up early but the geofencing would help at leave flag the issue,
