Geo-fencing prevents proxy attendance and buddy punching (one employee clocking in for another) by verifying the employee’s physical location at the time of clock-in. You define a virtual perimeter around the workplace \u2014 a radius around a GPS coordinate \u2014 and employees can only successfully clock in from their mobile app if they are physically within that boundary.<\/p>\n
In Zoho People’s attendance settings, you enter the office address (which resolves to GPS coordinates) and set the allowed radius in metres. You can configure multiple geo-fence zones for organisations with multiple offices or site locations.<\/p>\n
For sales reps, field service technicians, or delivery staff who work at client sites, you can set up geo-fences around client locations or allow clock-in from any location while still capturing the GPS coordinates at clock-in time. This creates an audit trail of where the employee was when they started work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Geo-fencing in Zoho People is an attendance security feature that restricts employee clock-in to a defined geographic area \u2014 such as within 500 metres of the office building \u2014 using the GPS location of the employee’s mobile device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Geo-fencing (Attendance) | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"Geo-fencing in Zoho People is an attendance security feature that restricts employee clock-in to a defined geographic area \u2014 such as within 500 metres of t","seo_keyword":"geo fencing attendance zoho people location","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1251],"class_list":["post-4816","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
