GPS Geofencing: Know Your Crew Is Where the Work Is

A timesheet tells you how long someone worked. GPS geofencing tells you where. JobSnap records the location of every clock in and clock out and automatically checks it against your jobsite boundaries — so “8 hours on the Pinehull job” means 8 hours at the Pinehull job.

Geofences that match real jobsites

• Set a boundary per jobsite. Give each job a location and a radius — or a custom boundary for large or irregular sites like subdivisions and highway work.
• Automatic clock in and site matching. A shift can start on its own when a worker enters a jobsite boundary and end when they leave. On a manual punch, JobSnap checks whether they're inside a boundary and links the shift to that job.
• Flags, not handcuffs. Punches from outside a boundary aren't blocked — they're recorded and flagged so a supervisor can review the exception instead of policing every punch.

What geofencing fixes

Time theft rarely looks dramatic. It looks like clocking in from the coffee shop, leaving 20 minutes early every day, or a buddy punching a friend in from across town. At 15 minutes a day, one worker adds up to more than a week of paid-but-not-worked time per year. Location verification makes those patterns visible — usually, just knowing it's on is enough to end them.

Fair to the crew

JobSnap uses location to start, stop, and verify shifts during work hours — not around the clock. Workers see their own punches and hours in the app and can review them, which cuts both ways: honest workers get a clear record that they were on site, on time.

Works with everything else

Geofenced punches feed the same timesheets and job-cost reports as everything else in JobSnap. There's nothing extra to buy or configure — geofencing is included in the single $5 per employee price.
