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.


For iPhone or iPad (Safari or Chrome)

  • Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services

  • Ensure Location Services is turned on

  • Scroll down, tap your browser app (Safari or Chrome)

    • Set access to “While Using the App” or “Always”

  • To allow precise location (not just approximate):

    • In the same settings, ensure Precise Location is on for your browser app

For Android Devices (Chrome)

  • Open Settings > Location

  • Make sure Location is on

  • Open Settings > Apps > Chrome > Permissions > Location

    • Choose “Allow only while using the app” or similar

    • If available, enable the Use Precise Location toggle

  • In Chrome, go to:

    • Menu (⋮) > Settings > Site Settings > Location

    • Ensure location is allowed
