GPS Location Detail

Every clock-in and clock-out captures the employee’s exact GPS coordinates, accurate to within a few meters. That location is tied directly to the time punch, giving you a verified, timestamped record you can point to if a dispute ever comes up.

Managers get a visual map report on the dashboard showing every punch location for every field employee. No more guessing whether your crew was actually on-site. The data is there, it is tied to a location, and it speaks for itself.

Location is only captured at the moment of the punch. There is no background tracking, no battery drain, and no surveillance software running on your employees’ personal phones between shifts. This is a distinction your team will appreciate when you roll out the app.

Geofencing: Stop Time Theft Before It Starts

Geofencing draws a virtual boundary around your job sites, client locations, or office buildings. When an employee tries to clock in, the app checks their GPS location against that boundary. If they are not on-site, the punch is blocked or flagged before it ever hits your timecard.

You can set up multiple geofences, each with its own rules and employee restrictions. A crew assigned to Job Site A cannot clock in at Job Site B.

For employees who legitimately work outside a fixed location, you can allow off-fence punches while automatically flagging them for manager review. You stay in control without micromanaging every exception.

Real-time Reporting Dashboard

The TimeTrakGO dashboard gives managers instant visibility into every punch, every location, and every hour worked across your mobile workforce. No digging through timesheets or chasing employees to verify hours.

The dashboard automatically surfaces payroll red flags like overtime, missing punches, and absences so you can catch problems before they become payroll errors. Managers can resolve issues directly in the interface, cutting hours of cleanup every pay period.

For teams working across multiple jobs or cost centers, Labor Allocation reporting breaks down exactly where every hour was spent, making job costing and client billing far more accurate.

Payroll Integrations

When the pay period closes, TimeTrakGO exports your verified field employee hours directly into ADP, QuickBooks, Sage 50, Paychex, Gusto, and more. No manual data entry, no transcription errors, no re-keying hours from a spreadsheet.

For payroll systems beyond the major providers, our flexible export engine generates a customized file output compatible with virtually any modern accounting or ERP platform.

The result is a payroll process that takes minutes instead of hours, and a set of records your accountant will actually trust.

Job Tracking with Labor allocation

Track Time by Job, Department, or Cost Center

Knowing how many hours your employees worked is only half the picture. With TimeTrakGO Labor Allocation, employees assign their time to a specific job, department, cost center, or task right at clock-in from the mobile app. No manual sorting after the fact, no spreadsheet cleanup at the end of the week.

Supervisors get a real-time breakdown of labor costs by job or project, making it easier to stay on budget, bill clients accurately, and win future work with confidence. Employees can even transfer between allocations mid-shift without clocking out.

Time Clock App Self-Service Screen

Empower Employees with Self-Service

Employees should not need to call HR to check their PTO balance or find out how many hours they worked this week. With Employee Self-Service built into the TimeTrakGO mobile app, your team has instant access to their own records from their phone.

Employees can view accrued PTO balances, check daily and weekly hours, and review overtime totals before payroll runs. Time off requests are submitted electronically, managers receive an instant notification, and approved time off is automatically reflected on the timecard and deducted from the available balance.

Fewer interruptions for your HR team. More transparency for your employees.

What you get:

  • Real-time hours and punch detail
  • PTO balances with detail
  • Electronic time off requests

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the mobile time clock app track time by job or department?2026-05-18T19:31:11+00:00

Yes. TimeTrakGO includes Labor Allocation, which lets employees assign their hours to a specific job, department, cost center, or task right at clock-in from the mobile app. No manual sorting or spreadsheet work after the fact. Supervisors get a real-time breakdown of labor costs by location or project, making it easier to manage budgets and bid future work accurately. Employees can also transfer between allocations mid-shift without clocking out.

Can employees request time off from the time clock app?2025-09-08T13:43:09+00:00

Yes, employees can easily submit time off requests directly from the TimeTrakGO mobile app. This feature is part of the “Time Off Center” and provides a convenient way for employees to manage their paid time off (PTO) from their smartphones.

With the mobile app, employees can:

  • View their PTO balances: See how many vacation, sick, or other PTO hours they have available.
  • Request time off: Select the dates and the number of hours they want to take.
  • Check the status of their requests: See if a request is pending, approved, or denied.
  • Cancel an approved request: Employees can even cancel a previously approved request.

Once a request is submitted, supervisors receive an instant email notification, allowing them to quickly review and approve or deny the request. Approved time off is then automatically updated on the employee’s time card and deducted from their available balance.

Does the time clock app calculate overtime?2025-09-08T13:43:29+00:00

Yes, TimeTrakGO’s time clock app is designed to accurately calculate overtime based on your requirements. Our system allows you to create different pay policies for various employee groups, each with its own specific overtime settings.

You have the flexibility to configure daily overtime (e.g., hours worked beyond 8 in a day), weekly overtime (e.g., hours exceeding 40 in a week), and even premium day overtime (e.g., different rates for working on specific days like Sundays or holidays). This ensures accurate and compliant overtime calculations tailored to your unique workforce needs.

How Accurate is GPS Tracking for Recording Employee Locations?2025-05-12T13:36:09+00:00

Modern GPS technology offers impressive accuracy in recording employee locations, typically within a few meters. Leveraging a robust satellite network and continuous advancements from leaders like Google and Apple, GPS-based time clock apps provide precise and reliable location data for teams anywhere, from downtown client sites to remote field locations.

While occasional interference in dense urban areas or heavily wooded remote locations might slightly affect pinpoint accuracy, it remains more than sufficient for employee time tracking applications.

What if the employee doesn’t allow location permission to the time clock app?2025-04-15T13:01:05+00:00

The impact of an employee not allowing location permission depends on your company’s settings within TimeTrakGO. TimeTrakGO offers an optional setting to enforce GPS.

  • If your company has enabled the “Enforce GPS” setting: The employee will not be able to clock in or out using the TimeTrakGO app unless they grant the app permission to access their device’s exact location. The app requires this information to verify their work location at the time of clocking in and out.
  • If your company has disabled the “Enforce GPS” setting: The TimeTrakGO app will accept an employee’s clock in and clock out punches even if they do not grant location permission. However, your company may not have location data associated with their punches in this scenario.
What is the difference between GPS location information and Geofence?2024-12-02T16:18:55+00:00

TimeTrakGO offers GPS location tagging for all punches ensuring payroll accuracy, regardless of plan. This information is displayed on a map for each punch and in a map report on the dashboard. Additionally, TimeTrakGO PLUS provides advanced geofencing capabilities. Geofencing creates virtual boundaries around specific locations, allowing you to restrict clocking to authorized areas. We’ve added flexible geofencing options that can allow clocking outside the fence, but tag those punches for review. Additionally, employees receive notifications when they are outside the geofence.

Does the TimeTrakGO time clock app monitor employees while off the clock?2024-12-02T16:18:55+00:00

TimeTrakGO prioritizes privacy and efficiency by capturing location data only at the exact moment of clock-in and clock-out. This approach avoids the battery drain and privacy concerns associated with constant tracking. By focusing on essential data, we ensure accurate timekeeping without compromising employee privacy.
