Mobile time tracking with GPS
The moment an employee starts the timer on the WebWork mobile app, GPS tracking activates. There’s no manual check-in and time and location data are captured together.
Employee GPS Tracking
See your team’s location at any moment of working hours with automated employee GPS tracking. Track routes, see if employees have arrived at the job site, and maintain a correct log of their clock-ins and exits. Works on any mobile device with GPS tracking permission and uses geofencing to start tracking the moment employees enter job sites.
Track Where Your Team Is, While Work Happens
Offline GPS and time tracking
Time and GPS tracking continues recording even when there is no internet connection. The data is stored on the device and syncs automatically once a connection is restored.
Live map view
The map view gives you a real-time picture of the entire field team. You see who has reached their site, who is still in transit, and when each employee clocked in at their location.
Route tracking and location history
Along with employee location tracking, WebWork also records the routes employees travel throughout their shift. The full path gives you an accurate picture of time spent in transit, stops made along the way.
Geofencing and job sites
Add job sites and set a virtual perimeter around them. When an employee enters the geofenced area, the tracker starts automatically. When they leave, it stops. This removes the need for manual clock-ins.
Why Teams Choose WebWork as Their GPS Time Clock
Verify on-site presence without manual check-ins
You get to see exactly when employees arrived at the job site and when they left.
Keep payroll accurate for field employees
The hours submitted from GPS clock-ins and clock-outs go into payroll reports and reflect actual tracked time.
Reduce unauthorized overtime and detours
Route history makes it straightforward to spot inefficiencies like extended stops, detours, or time gaps that don’t align with the schedule.
Scale across any number of field employees
The map view can handle even large field operations, allowing you to track from 5 to 500 technicians.

FAQ
Employee GPS tracking is the practice of recording the real-time location of field employees while they are on the clock. The WebWork mobile time tracker includes both time and employee GPS location tracking during active tracking sessions. It shows where employees are, when they arrived at each job site, and what routes they traveled.
Yes. WebWork continues tracking time and location even when the device has no internet connection. Data is stored locally on the device and syncs automatically once the connection is restored, so there are no gaps in the location record for remote worksites or areas with poor signal.
Geofencing lets you draw a virtual boundary around a job site. When an employee’s device enters that boundary, the tracker starts automatically and when they leave, it stops. You set up geofenced job sites directly in the WebWork dashboard by naming the location and defining the perimeter on the map.
Yes. Employees are aware that GPS tracking is running as the mobile app shows when the tracker is active. WebWork is not a covert surveillance tool. Transparency about monitoring is built into how the product works.
In most jurisdictions, tracking employees during working hours on company-issued or work-purpose devices is permitted, provided employees are informed. Requirements vary by country and region, so it’s advisable to review local labor laws or consult a legal advisor before deploying GPS tracking. WebWork’s transparent tracking approach supports compliance with notification requirements.
Accuracy depends on the device’s GPS hardware and local signal conditions. In open outdoor environments, GPS accuracy is typically within a few meters. Indoor locations or areas with dense building coverage may show reduced precision. WebWork displays the location data as recorded by the device without modifying it.
GPS tracking records where an employee is in real time and logs their movement as a route. Geofencing uses that GPS data to trigger automatic actions like starting and stopping the tracker when an employee enters or exits a defined area. The two features work together: geofencing automates the process, and GPS tracking produces the location record.
Employee geolocation tracking is included on all plans, starting at $3.99 per user per month, while geofencing is available starting from the Plus plan at $6.39 per user per month if paid annually. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Yes. The live map view shows all active employees simultaneously, regardless of how many different locations they are spread across. You can set up geofences for each site independently, and the location reports allow filtering by site so you can review each location separately.
