FAQs

Everything you need to know about GPS time tracking with Workyard.

How does a GPS time clock app work?

A GPS time clock app uses your phone's location to verify when and where employees clock in and out. Workyard takes this further: you draw geofences around each job site, and when a crew member crosses the boundary, the app captures a location-verified clock-in automatically. Hours allocate to the correct job and cost code based on GPS location. When the worker leaves, the clock-out is captured and trimmed to the last verified location.

What is geofencing and how does it work with time tracking?

A geofence is a virtual boundary you draw around a job site on a map. When a worker's phone enters that boundary, Workyard captures a GPS-verified clock-in automatically. When they leave, it captures the clock-out. Hours inside the geofence allocate to that job's number and cost code. Geofences are accurate to within a few meters, tight enough to distinguish between two adjacent sites.

Can I see where my crew is in real time?

Yes. Workyard shows every crew member on a live map during work hours. You can see who is on site, who is driving between jobs, and who has not arrived. GPS breadcrumbs give you a full location trail for every worker throughout the day, so you always know where your crew is and can verify they were where they said they were.

What are GPS breadcrumbs?

GPS breadcrumbs are a trail of location points recorded throughout a worker's shift. Workyard captures these automatically in the background, showing you exactly where each crew member was at any point during the day. Breadcrumbs give you a complete location history. They verify that workers were on site, show drive routes between jobs, and provide an audit trail for billing and compliance.

Does the GPS time clock verify clock-in and clock-out locations?

Yes. Every clock-in and clock-out is stamped with GPS coordinates and verified against the job site's geofence. If a worker tries to clock in from outside the geofence boundary, the system flags it. Location verification eliminates buddy punching and ensures every time card is defensible.

Does the GPS time clock work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Workyard's GPS time clock runs natively on iPhone and Android. There's also a kiosk mode for a shared iPad at the job-site gate and a supervisor view that lets a foreman clock in the entire crew from a single device. All modes capture location-verified time.

Can the GPS time clock stop buddy punching?

Yes. With geofenced clock-in, workers can only clock in from inside a verified job-site boundary. They can't clock in from home or have a friend do it for them. Face detection adds an extra layer of verification across all clock-in modes. Workyard's GPS audit trail makes every time card verifiable.

Does the GPS time clock track employees when they're off the clock?

No. Workyard's GPS tracking stops the moment a worker clocks out. Location data is only captured during work hours. Workers are not tracked off the job. GPS and location tracking exist to verify hours and ensure fair pay, not to surveil people. The app makes this clear to workers during setup.

Does location-based time tracking work offline?

Yes. Workyard's GPS time clock works fully offline. Crews can clock in, capture forms, and log hours even with no cell signal on the job site. GPS location is still recorded locally on the device. Everything syncs the moment the phone reconnects.

How does GPS auto-allocate hours to jobs and cost codes?

Each job site has a geofence with an assigned job number and cost code. When a worker is inside that geofence, their hours auto-allocate to that job. Move to a different site during the day? The allocation follows automatically. Drive time between sites is separated and coded correctly. No manual time entry required.

Does the GPS time clock export to QuickBooks, Sage, ADP, and other payroll systems?

Yes. Location-verified, job-coded time cards flow directly into QuickBooks (Online + Desktop), Sage Intacct, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Paylocity, Foundation, Spectrum, Deltek ComputerEase, and 20+ other payroll and accounting systems. No re-keying, no CSV exports.

How long does it take to set up GPS time tracking for my crew?

Days, not months. Draw geofences around your job sites on a map, connect your payroll system, and your jobs and cost codes sync automatically. Crews download the app and GPS time tracking is live. No IT department required. When you call support, a real person answers.

Is there a free trial of the GPS time clock app?

Yes. Workyard offers a 14-day free trial with full GPS time tracking, geofencing, live crew locations, and payroll sync. No credit card required. Most teams are live and capturing location-verified hours within 1 to 2 days.
