The practical thinking behind what to do when clock-in location fails
What to Do When Clock-In Location Fails is easier to understand when the organisation first separates the worker action from the later management review. The worker should allow the requested location permission when completing the relevant booking.
Authorised managers can then use booking time, workplace and the latest location context available from the device to understand whether the available location context matches the expected workplace. Before rollout, the business should agree who reviews exceptions, how corrections are requested and what fallback applies when the app cannot be used.
