Connect the worker action with the later review

When location-based clock-in is handled consistently, the resulting record is easier for both workers and authorised managers to understand. For the worker, the expected action is to allow the requested location permission when completing the relevant booking. That instruction should be explained during onboarding, including what to do when a phone, account or connection problem gets in the way.

The manager does not merely need a list of taps. They need to understand whether the available location context matches the expected workplace, using booking time, workplace and the latest location context available from the device while taking account of signal, permissions and the expected workplace. A short test with the real team is worthwhile before the process becomes part of everyday operations. For Location-Based Clock-In, the clearest outcome is a record that can be explained without relying on memory or informal messages.

GPS and location-aware attendance still needs sensible review. Location can be delayed or inaccurate and should never be treated as infallible proof.
