Mobile Employee Time Clock App with GPS for Field Teams

One-Tap GPS Time Clock App for Field Employees. Location verified, geofence protected, and ready for any job site

Field employees move fast. Paper timesheets, manual punch cards, and phone-in hours don’t keep up. TimeTrakGO gives your mobile workforce a one-tap clock-in with GPS verification and geofence protection, so your payroll data is accurate before the job site is even packed up

GPS and geofencing catch fraudulent punches before they ever reach your payroll.

TimeTrakGO is a time tracking app for iPhone and Android, available now with no hardware required.

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 can view field employees’ recorded punch locations on a map. Each GPS-enabled punch provides a location record that can be reviewed from the dashboard.

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

Self-Service That Doesn’t Involve HR

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 employee time clock 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

Field Services
Pest control teams, cleaning services, and inspectors can log hours from any location and automatically allocate time to individual clients or service contracts, making billing and labor cost reporting far more accurate.

Healthcare Providers
Home health aides and mobile nurses can use GPS time tracking to accurately account for their time.

Transportation and Delivery
Logistics companies and movers can record accurate worked hours on the go and allocate drive time or labor to specific routes, jobs, or cost centers for cleaner payroll and better cost visibility.

Property Management and Facilities
Maintenance crews and property managers can verify on-site arrival at specific buildings or units, track time by property, and eliminate after-the-fact disputes over hours worked.

Mobile Time Clock App
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?2026-08-07T13:49:43+00:00

Modern GPS technology offers impressive accuracy in recording employee locations, typically within a few meters. Between the underlying satellite network and continuous improvements from 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.

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.

YES! Try this program. Overall: I love this program, was very easy to train my employees after using another program for at least 15 years. I have been so impressed. Pros: We started using Timetrakgo about a month ago. After trying several other timeclock programs, I was in love with the ease of use. It can be fancy, or as simple as you need. Customer Service is easily accessible for any help needed. Cons: The price of the programs are great. I wish there was not an extra administrative fee for the Plus program, but the cost is still very competitive and is worth the extra.

Great Upgrade From Previous Version Overall: Experience has been very positive. Upgrading from our previous version was a no-brainer. Very user friendly. Speed is great. Pros: I like not having physical time clocks and our employees can clock in and out on their phones from job site. No more I lost or forgot my key fob. Cons: Don't like that when their is an update to the phone app it doesn't tell you. The screen just goes white and employees panic. I wish the scheduling was more customizable by location and employee.

Review of TimeTrakGO Overall: Overall the experience has made my job easier in being able to handle employees time for payroll and allowing them a simple log in and log out system to capture their time. Pros: Very user friendly for the employees to log in and out. All the administrator aspects are very easy to use for payroll. Cons: The only con I feel like is the employee can't see their previous days total time on their terminal.

Thank you TimeTrakGO Overall: I left another company for better customer service and easier platform, I found what I was looking for with TimeTrakGO. Our team has had zero difficulty with the transition from systems. I absolutely appreciate the facial recognition and so does our team. I can also create rules to make payroll so much easier. Pros: I appreciate the ease of use and when I call I get to speak with a person. I am extremely busy and your team is very responsive (also very pleasant) Cons: Nothing as of yet.... I had a short transition period going from one platform to another but your team was very helpful

TimeClock Simplicity Overall: Solid bang for the buck, simple and easy to use. Holiday pay and vacation time tracking are a great feature as well. Pros: Simple web accessible tool. Works great for our needs in our environment people are not allowed to use smart phones so this was a perfect solution for us. Cons: I would like an additional calendar that doesn't track hours just shows where people are or what event they are attending. Because their hours are already tracked by a punch in.

ALMOST PERFECT Overall: OVERALL EXPERIENCE IT HAS MADE PAYROLL REALLY EASY, I CAN ADD AND REMOVE EMPLOYEES VERY QUICK. I CAN EDIT AN EMPLOYEE'S TIME CARD WITH EASE Pros: I REALLY LIKE THAT I CAN KEEP TRACK OF OUR SMALL OFFICE ALL IN ONE PLACE, IT IS EASY TO ASSIGN HOLIDAY PAY HOURS AND KEEP TRACK OF PTO. Cons: I DON'T LIKE THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE THE 10 MINUTE BREAKS AS A PAID BREAK AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY ADD IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET A NOTIFICATION WHEN ONE OF THE EMPLOYEE'S TIME CARD DOESN'T HAVE THE PROPER CLOCK IN TIME, SOMETIMES BECAUSE THERE IS A GLITCH ON THE SYSTEM AN EMPLOYEE HAS TO CLOCK IN MULTIPLE TIMES.

Small Business Win Overall: Our experience with Time Trak Go has been wonderful and the lady on chat is so so helpful! Grateful to have found this resource. Pros: So easy to work with and have all the features we need as a small business. Love that it has accruals in the system for our team to see on-demand. Cons: I wish that you could specify a start time when requesting time off, but that is very minor in the grand scheme of things.

Sign Up Today! Satisfied customer! Overall: We reviewed several platforms before making our selection and getting rid of our old basic time clocks. Putting this simply, we made the right decision! Value for the cost is great and it has helped us cut down on the amount of time and paperwork we needed to keep track of. Pros: TimeTrakGO has been one of the best tools we have added to our daily operations. It's not just a time clock! It has helped us save so much time with other aspects related to payroll, PTO tracking, etc. It's user friendly, our employees have no problem using it and customer service/support does such a great job. Cons: I can't really say that I do not like a certain feature because it serves most of our needs. I know you are always providing updates to the platform/program and we plan on sticking around to see what all new features come with time.
