Geofencing simply means we add a virtual fence around your site location within our platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By using the location permissions on our Flexer\u2019s mobile device, the app will know when they are within that fence and will then offer them the option to clock in.<\/p>\n<h3>How close to my site do Flexers need to be to clock in with geofencing?<\/h3>\n<p>Flexers working at your site can only clock in and out on the app when they are within 200m (approximately 650 feet) of your location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can easily expand this distance to 500m if this suits your location better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Venues tab<\/li>\n<li>Select venue<\/li>\n<li>Select Edit<\/li>\n<li>Select from Geofencing drop down<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Can I opt out of using geofencing?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Under the Venues tab you\u2019ll find the option to review the current geofencing rules applied to each of your sites.<\/p>\n<p>Choose the desired venue from your list and select Edit and scroll to the Geofencing section. From the drop-down menu, you can choose to either disable or update the distance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Venues tab<\/li>\n<li>Select venue<\/li>\n<li>Select Edit<\/li>\n<li>Select from Geofencing drop down<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Does this change anything on my timesheets?<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing changes on your timesheets, you can still follow the usual process as normal.<\/p>\n<h3>How do Flexers use it to clock in?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>If the worker is within the designated work area:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They can clock in as usual using their Indeed Flex app.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>If the worker is out of range:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>They will be informed and shown a map of both their location and the venue&#8217;s location. Once they are in the designated area, they will be able to clock in.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Flexer geofencing instruction, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/indeedflex.com\/faq\/all-about-geofencing\/\">https:\/\/indeedflex.com\/faq\/all-about-geofencing\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What happens if a Flexer\u2019s location function isn\u2019t working?<\/h3>\n<p>If the Flexer is at the venue but the app indicates otherwise, they will be prompted to refresh their location in the app.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the problem persists, they can follow the in-app prompts to manually verify their location. This includes entering an on-site supervisor&#8217;s full name.
