TimeWorksPlus Has Geofencing!
TimeWorksPlus introduces geofencing, a mobile tracking feature that creates virtual boundaries around job sites to monitor employee location and clock-in/out activities, helping employers prevent time theft, enforce attendance rules, generate detailed reports, and ensure employees are working at authorized locations and times.
TimeWorksPlus Geofencing
If you need to know if employees are working at the correct location, you need geofencing.
What is Geofencing?
Geofencing is a mobile tracking tool that can specify a virtual boundary. The virtual boundary is called a geofence. It is based on the real-life physical location.
The Geofence Triggers an Action
Creating a virtual boundary is the first step. The second part is the action that occurs when a connected mobile device (and its owner!) enters the geofence. For example, a monitoring app can send a text to a parent when their son or daughter arrives home.
How Do You Use Geofencing in TimeWorksPlus?
In TimeWorksPlus, draw a geofence around a site on a map. Assign employees to the geofence.
TimeWorksPlus tracks their location relative to the geofence.

Dealing With Employee Time Theft?
TimeWorksPlus with geofencing is your solution. Employees can’t clock in when they aren’t in their authorized work location. For additional time theft prevention, use schedule enforcement.
Oversight for Time AND Place
Geofencing prevents out-of-bounds punches. Schedule enforcement restricts out-of-schedule punches. For example, you can restrict employees from clocking in more than ten minutes before their shift begins.
TimeWorksPlus ensures your mobile employees are WHERE they should be, WHEN they should be.

Missouri Scheduling & Predictive Scheduling Laws - WorkforceHub
The article explains that Missouri lacks specific state predictive scheduling laws, meaning employers primarily follow federal guidelines without mandates for advance schedule notice, minimum shift lengths, or compensation for last-minute changes, highlighting the importance of understanding these regulations for both employers and employees to ensure compliance and work-life balance.
Washington Scheduling & Predictive Scheduling Laws
Washington state, particularly through Seattle's 2017 Secure Scheduling Ordinance, enforces predictive scheduling laws requiring large retail and food service employers to provide employees with at least 14 days' advance notice of work schedules and compensates employees for last-minute changes, offering greater schedule stability and predictability beyond federal regulations.
Montana Scheduling & Predictive Scheduling Laws
Montana does not have specific predictive scheduling laws or minimum shift time requirements beyond federal regulations, meaning employers are not legally obligated to provide advance notice of work schedules or minimum shift lengths, resulting in flexible but potentially unpredictable scheduling practices for employees.
