How do I stop GPS data being collected when clocking in and out?

Stopping location data being collected and stored

If you use RotaCloud's Time and Attendance package, GPS data will be collected by default. If, however, you would like to remove GPS clocking in entirely so no GPS data is collected, this can be changed by an Admin user in your account settings.

Disabling GPS data collection

To stop your employees' GPS data being collected, click the cog icon in the top right corner to access your settings.

Next, scroll down - towards the bottom of your screen to the section 'GPS Location at Clock In'. Click the dropdown and select 'GPS location not required and clock in/out'.

You'll then see a confirmation message pop-up - click 'Yes' and the change will be applied.

Once done, all locations will have their GPS restriction section greyed-out and no GPS data will be collected when staff clock in and out.
