How to Set Up a Geofence

Updated on

HRplus Time>>Geofencing>>Fence Setup

A Geofence:

  • is a virtual fence around a physical geographic area.
  • enables employees to punch in and out within/near the geofence, during the dates/times of their schedule/shifts.
  • allows employees to use their mobile devices in/near to the geofence, to register their punches.
  • eliminates the need for employees to punch in via a physical timeclock.  

HRplus Time captures the timesheet data, including the employee’s photo, and processes it as if the employee had punched in via a physical timeclock.

Step 1:  Create Geofences

Step 1.1: Default Map Location

The map will default to your current location. Use the 'hand' icon to locate the area you wish to geofence:

Step 1.2: Establish the Geofence

Step 1.3: Draw the Geofence

Geofences may be reused and mapped to more than one company!  Each mapping MUST be unique.

Step 1.4: Save the Geofence

Geofence Name: Enter a user-defined name for the geofence.

Company: Select the company for the geofence.

Step 2:  Mapping Geofences to Another Company

You can create as many geofences as you wish and map them to one or more companies. Assign a user-defined UNIQUE name to each mapping.

You can reuse Geofences by mapping them to more than one companies.

Step 3:  Enabling/Disabling/Deleting Geofences

By default, geofences are enabled (active) when created. Rather than permanently delete a geofence, in case it is to be used again, you may choose to temporarily disable it (make inactive).
