Understand clock-in location rules in HireHint
Review where employees are allowed to record working time.
For admins, managers, employees
Before you start
Location requirements depend on the employee's assigned time-tracking policy. Review the company policy and privacy notice before enabling location-based restrictions.
What to do
- Administrators can open Settings > Employee Management > Time tracking and review the relevant policy.
- Review the policy's location restrictions and the sites available in its geofencing controls. Confirm that they match the employees and workplaces in scope.
- Employees should follow the location instructions shown when clocking in. Grant browser or device location access only through the normal permission prompt.
- Check that the clock-in or time entry was accepted. If location access fails or a workplace is missing, contact the policy administrator rather than bypassing the rule.
If something is not right
Changing settings does not prove that every browser or device can provide an accurate location. Review the actual clock-in result and company-approved alternatives.
Available controls can vary with your role, plan, workspace configuration, and connected providers. These guides do not change your company's policies.
