B
Written by Blake Wood

To clock in at your job site, your browser needs to access your current location. If you receive a message that your location is off, or that you are not detected at the job site, you may need to enable location services or switch on “precise location” in your device settings.

Why Is This Needed?

Location helps confirm cleaners are at the right job site when clocking in.
