EasyWork now supports Geofencing for attendances! Admins will now be able to set geofencing rule to specific employees or employee groupings (Branches, Departments, etc.) to desired location.
What is Geofencing in EasyWork ?
Geofencing is a setting that allows companies to create virtual perimeters or boundaries around specific geographic locations.
When this setting is enabled by the admin, employees are required to clock in/out when they are within the designated virtual perimeter.
As some companies operate with various branches or departments spread across different locations, and there is a need for them to customise clockings location based on their employee groupings. Hence, we introduced this feature to provide admin flexible option to customise their employees' clocking attendance.

Complete the form before moving on to choose applicable employees or employee groupings.
Here's some of the guide on the form :

The bigger the distance, the bigger the area of virtual perimeters for employee to clock in/out within.

Admin can edit or delete the rule by clicking on the "Pencil" Icon or "Trash Can" Icon from the desired row.

Can I allow my employee to clock in/out if they are not within the location ?
Certainly! You just have to toggle the setting "Allow clock in/out if not within location" setting on at "General" tab.
If both of the settings are on, system will generate a new report "Clock Outside Office" for admin to monitor their clocking outside office attendance data.
Notes :
If "Allow clock in/out if not within location" setting is off, Employee will receive error messages if they tempt to clock in/out outside location.
