“Where Was Everyone at 2pm?” Stop Guessing, Start Knowing

For cleaning business owners who can’t verify whether crews actually showed up on time or clocked in from the right address. GPS Clock-In captures location-verified time entries at every clock-in and clock-out, auto-closes forgotten shifts, and feeds clean hours straight into your payroll export.

§01 — THE PROBLEM

What every cleaning business owner already knows.

Your 8am crew says they arrived on time. Your client says nobody showed until 8:40. Without a location-stamped record, it’s your word against theirs, and you end up eating a credit or an awkward call either way. Meanwhile a crew member forgets to clock out after a job, and their time entry sits open for six hours, quietly inflating hours worked on a report nobody catches until payroll day.

A single ghost clock-out that adds two unworked hours costs roughly $40 to $60 in phantom labor per incident. Across a 10-person crew averaging just one missed clock-out a month each, that adds up to roughly 240 unworked hours paid for over a year.

§02 — HOW CLEANERHQ FIXES IT

GPS Clock-In, built cleaning-native.

GPS Clock-In records a location-stamped time entry every time a crew member clocks in or out from the mobile app, checking their position against the job’s address and configured radius. If a shift is left open, the system automatically closes it after a grace period you set, tagging it as an auto clock-out so nothing silently inflates payroll. Every correction is logged as a new entry, never an edit, so the original record stays intact.

Approved entries roll straight into weekly or biweekly timesheets for your review, then flow into the payroll batch you export to whatever processor you already use. No re-entering hours, no reconciling paper timesheets against memory.

§03 — WHAT YOU GET

Every feature in one place.

Location-verified clock-in/out
checks each clock-in and clock-out against the job’s address and your configured geofence radius before marking it verified
Automatic ghost clock-out detection
closes a forgotten shift automatically after the grace period you set, tagging it so it never blends silently into approved hours
Auto travel time tracking
links a travel-time entry to the job it follows, so drive time between stops is captured without a manual note
Smart time categorization
auto-tags each entry as job work, travel, or admin time, with a one-tap override when the system guesses wrong
Timesheet approval queue
aggregates entries into weekly or biweekly periods you review and approve before hours move into a payout batch
Audit-safe corrections
every correction is saved as a new entry referencing the original, so payroll disputes have a full, untouched paper trail
§04 — WHY IT MATTERS

The business impact, in dollars.

Location-verified time entries end the he-said-she-said over whether a crew showed up on time, and ghost clock-out detection stops small forgetting from turning into real payroll leakage week after week. When hours are trustworthy by default, timesheet approval takes minutes instead of a back-and-forth with every crew member over what they actually worked.

A 10-person crew that stops losing even one forgotten clock-out per person per month gets back roughly 240 hours of phantom payroll a year.
§05 — QUESTIONS WE GET

Frequently asked about GPS Clock-In.

What does GPS Clock-In do?

GPS Clock-In records a location-stamped time entry every time a crew member clocks in or out from the mobile app, checked against the job’s address and your configured radius. If a shift is left open, it closes automatically after a grace period you set.

How does ghost clock-out detection work?

If a crew member forgets to clock out, the system automatically closes the entry once your configured grace period passes, tagging it as an auto clock-out. You always see which entries were closed automatically versus manually.

Can a crew member correct a mistaken clock-in?

Yes. A correction is saved as a brand-new entry that references the original, not an edit over it. The original entry stays intact, so every correction is fully traceable for payroll review.

Does GPS Clock-In track crew location all day?

No. It captures a location stamp only at clock-in and clock-out, checked against the job address and radius you set. It is not continuous background tracking.

Is GPS Clock-In included in the base CleanerHQ plan?

Yes. GPS Clock-In is one of 20 modules included on every CleanerHQ seat at $19/mo per admin seat plus $5/mo per crew seat. No feature tiers or add-on pricing.
