Clock in at the job site.

Geofenced clock-in checks the shift location before hours start. Right hours, first time — fewer disputes, cleaner payroll, and a crew that trusts the numbers.

No credit card. Free plan stays free.

In practice

How it works in practice: the moment a clock-in is out of range

The geofence only does one thing, and it does it at one moment. Watch that moment.

A crew member arrives for a scheduled shift and taps to clock in. Right then — not continuously, just once — Daybill checks whether the phone is inside the job site's radius. That radius is 200 metres by default and adjustable per site.

Say they're early and still at the gas station 600 m away. The clock-in is blocked. The app doesn't fail silently; it tells them exactly how far from the site they are, so they can drive the rest of the way and try again. No bad location data quietly enters the timesheet.

Once they're inside the radius, the clock-in goes through and attaches to that scheduled shift. That link keeps the hours — and the job costs — tied to the site the work actually happened on. And it's built into the same shifts you already dispatch through scheduling, so there's no separate time-clock app to install.

GPS geofenced clock-in is Expert-only: Daybill Expert (CAD $99/mo flat, 20 users, then $3.00/user/mo), alongside shift checklists, site reports, and AI scheduling. Team (CAD $39/mo) includes full shift scheduling and dispatch but without the geofence gate; not on Solo ($0) or Solo Pro ($14.99).

Questions

What operators ask before they switch.

What is a geofenced time clock?

A virtual radius around the job site. When a crew member clocks in for a shift, Daybill checks that the phone is inside that radius (200 metres by default, adjustable per site) before the hours start.

Is this about watching the crew?

No. The check runs once, at clock-in, against the job site — it is not continuous location sharing. The point is pay accuracy: hours start at the site, so nobody argues about them later.

What happens outside the radius?

The clock-in is blocked and the app shows how far from the site the phone is. The crew member can move closer and try again — no silent bad data enters the timesheet.

Which plan includes geofenced clock-in?

GPS geofenced clock-in is part of the Expert plan, alongside shift checklists, site reports, and AI scheduling. Team plans include full shift scheduling and dispatch without the geofence gate.
