Adding Jobsite to Workstatus Application


Workstatus now supports Job Sites (also known as geofencing) which designates a specific area where your team is allowed to track time. The app can automatically start recording time when a user enters the job site or stop the timer when they leave the job site.


Whenever a user is tracking time within a job site, the system provides a report of when and for how much time the user spent at that job site, which you can generate and review with our Reports feature.


Roles and Permissions:


Organization Owner/Manager :

  • They can add, edit, and delete jobsites for all members of the organization.


Dept Head (User):

  • They can add, edit, and delete jobsites assigned to them and their department members.


Team Lead (User):

  • They can add, edit, and delete jobsites assigned to them and their Teams members.
