Location services clock validation rule

If your WFM solution is accessible from the internet and mobility is used to collect employee swipes, employees can swipe from any location that is connected to the internet, even if they are not physically in the workplace.

To force employees to enable location services on their devices, the location services clock validation rule will check if an attempted clock includes longitude and latitude values. If an employee attempts to perform a clock transaction on their device while location services are disabled, then the clock will be prohibited by the system. In this case, a configurable clock validation error message will be displayed on the employee's device.

Note: The location services clock validation rule does not consider an employee's expected location. To validate whether a clock was performed within an employee's expected geographic location, use the Geofencing clock validation rule.

By default, location services clock validation is enabled for the MOBILITY Clock reader type. If you want to remove location services validation that was previously configured for a mobility reader type, see Disabling location services validation.
