A) Explanations
Rotas and Workforce Management provides managers with several tools to check and record when their employees clock in and out at work.
One such tool, known as geolocation, lets a manager draw a digital area around a given workplace or job site. Employees who wish to clock in or out using Rotas and Workforce Management are then required to do so while within this area. Geolocation is a convenient way for managers to check whether their employees actually clock in/out from the right place.
B) Okay, But does Rotas and Workforce Management Really Need to Know my Precise Location?
The answer is yes! iPhone devices have a setting that lets users provide their approximate location to apps such as Rotas and Workforce Management. The expression "approximate" means a random point within an area of several kilometres. Such an approximation makes it impossible for Rotas And Workforce Management to check whether an employee is actually clocking from the area set by their manager.
Needless to say, this defeats the point of using geolocation. Which is exactly why we ask that you provide your exact position to clock in/out.
C) How to Share my Precise Location
On your iPhone mobile device:
Hit the "Settings" icon
Go under the “Privacy” menu, and then under “Location Services”
Hit the Rotas And Workforce Management icon
Make sure the app is allowed to access your location and that the "Precise Location" tab is enabled
D) Does Rotas And Workforce Management Track Me?
Not at all! Rotas and Workforce Management only checks your position for a very short time, when you actively decide to clock in/out.
