MESSAGING SERVICE FOR GEOFENCE-BASED AUTOMATIC TIME CLOCKING

摘要

In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes creating a virtual perimeter around a geographic region. The geographic region within the virtual perimeter is assigned a job-site number. A location of a user's mobile device is tracked. It is determined when a user enters the geographic region defined by the virtual perimeter. The time that the user is in the geographic region is recorded. The time the user is in the virtual perimeter can be assigned to a time sheet of the user as an employee of a company. It can be detected that the user has left the geographic region. The recording of the time that the user is in the geographic region can be ceased. The excused period to be outside the geographic region can be automatically determined from information in the user's mobile device calendar or in a list of assignments associated with the user. The geographic region can be a physical work site.
