Geofence Time Tracking for Construction Jobsites
Verify labor locations precisely where work happens.
Stop wondering if your mobile crews are actually on-site. By utilizing mJob's geofence time tracking module, you can set a default radius for imported projects or manually define jobsite GPS tracking perimeters for each location. Gain irrefutable evidence of location, secure your margins, and guarantee authentic employee time.
Eliminate the guesswork of roaming field operations. Validate your work locations and bulletproof your data.
Jobsite GPS Tracking & Monitoring
A traditional paper timesheet cannot tell you if a shift was recorded at the staging area or off-property. As your workforce expands across various construction sites, maintaining oversight becomes nearly impossible without digital intervention.
How mJob Tracks Location
When an employee uses mJob to clock in via a GPS-enabled mobile device, the application waits exactly 5 seconds to retrieve the location area. This ensures you capture accurate data without delaying the field worker's process.
Site Proximity
Phase Switching
Violation Alerts
Flexible Rules for Every Jobsite
Every crew operates differently. With mJob, you aren't forced into rigid tracking. You can customize what happens in the event that GPS is disabled or fails on an employee's mobile device via the Web Restrictions tab.
You Control the Restrictions

Review records immediately if employees punch outside the zone.
Customize zones for staging, building, and material yards.
Transform Coordinates into Actionable Data
Once time cards are received from the field, Admin users in the desktop version of mJob have powerful tools to analyze and visualize the GPS data.

Geofence Time Tracking FAQs
Clear answers on implementing digital perimeters for your field teams.
What is geofence time tracking?
Geofence time tracking establishes a digital boundary radius around your physical work location using GPS coordinates. If an employee clocks in or out outside of this designated radius, the system generates an alert for managers to review in the desktop application.
What happens if an employee turns off their jobsite GPS tracking?
Managers can control what happens in the Web Restrictions tab. If GPS is disabled or fails on a device, you can choose to: Do Nothing, Display Warning Only, or Block the Clock In/Out attempt completely.
Can I see exactly where an employee was when they punched in?
Yes. Admin users can convert GPS coordinates to street address locations using the "Update GPS Locations" function. You can also map clock in/out locations directly on Google Maps from the time card edit screen.
