The pain you recognize
Why unverified timesheets cost contractors money and compliance risk
Paper timesheets and self-reported hours create payroll risk on both sides: overpayment through fraud and underpayment through FLSA exposure.
Buddy punching inflates your payroll
When team members can clock in for each other from anywhere, payroll fraud adds up quickly. GPS-verified clock-in means the team member must be at the job site to start the clock.
Drive time vs. job time disputes are a management headache
Without location-stamped records, team members and managers disagree about when the job started, when breaks happened, and when the team member left. GPS eliminates the grey area.
FLSA requires accurate time records for non-exempt employees
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to maintain accurate records of hours worked for all non-exempt (hourly) employees. Paper timesheets or self-reported hours do not hold up in an audit.
Paper timesheets are manual, slow, and error-prone
Collecting, reading, and entering paper timesheets adds hours of admin work every payroll cycle. GPS time clock exports directly to payroll, no data entry.

1
Step 1: Tech arrives at job site
Hub detects the team member's proximity to the job address (configurable radius, typically 500 feet). Clock-in option activates.
2
Step 2: Tech clocks in from their phone
One tap in Hub. Location and timestamp recorded. Clock-in denied if the team member is not within the configured radius of the job address.
3
Step 3: Tech clocks out at job completion
Clock-out records location and timestamp. Hours calculated automatically. Hub marks the job with total time on site.
4
Step 4: Time records export to payroll
All hours, locations, and job assignments are available in payroll export format. FLSA-compliant records stored for 3 years by default.
Real example
GPS time clock in practice
Three real scenarios showing how Hub handles clock-in verification and time disputes.
Tech attempts to clock in a co-worker remotely; Hub blocks it
Persona
An HVAC company had two techs who occasionally clocked in for each other on slow mornings. Hub ended that immediately.
- 8:03 AMTech A (at home)
Attempts to clock Tech B into the Riverside job using Tech B's credentials.
- 8:03 AMHub
Detects Tech A's GPS at home address, 4.2 miles from job site. Clock-in blocked.
Clock-in blocked. Your location (home) is 4.2 miles from the job site (500 Riverside Ave). Please clock in when you arrive at the job. - 8:04 AMManager
Receives alert: failed clock-in attempt flagged for review.
Outcome
No buddy punching since GPS clock-in was enabled. Managers stopped receiving calls about time discrepancies.
Before vs. after

What sets us apart
How Reimagine Hub compares to ServiceTitan, Jobber, and TSheets
Standalone time trackers do not connect to jobs. Hub links every hour to a specific job automatically.
ServiceTitan
- What it is
- Enterprise field service management platform
- Limitation
- Time tracking available but GPS geo-fence enforcement on clock-in requires higher-tier plan
- Hub
- GPS-verified clock-in included in every Hub plan, not gated behind a higher tier
Jobber
- What it is
- Scheduling and invoicing for small service businesses
- Limitation
- Time tracking exists but no GPS geo-fencing; team members can clock in from anywhere
- Hub
- Hub enforces geo-fence at the moment of clock-in, not after the fact
TSheets (QuickBooks Time)
- What it is
- Standalone time tracking software
- Limitation
- GPS tracking available but separate from the job management system; records must be manually matched to jobs
- Hub
- Hub links every clock-in to the specific job record automatically, no matching required

Technical honesty
When GPS time clock has limitations
GPS verification works for most field service scenarios, but a few environments need adjustment.
Indoor jobs with poor GPS signal (basements, large metal buildings) where geo-fence may need to be expanded
Jobs on large sites (warehouses, campuses) where the address may not match the actual work location
Salaried (exempt) employees who are not subject to FLSA hour tracking requirements
What Hub does instead
Hub lets managers expand the geo-fence radius per job type or manually approve out-of-range clock-ins. Exempt employees can be set to 'no geo-fence required' in their team member profile.
Comes with the Hub
Where the GPS time clock fits inside the Reimagine Hub
The GPS time clock connects to the job record (so every hour logged is linked to a specific job), the payroll export (so hours feed directly into commission and wage calculations), and the scheduling module (so actual time on site can be compared to the catalog's standard labor time). All location records are stored with the job and accessible to the business owner. Team members see their own hours; managers see all team members.

Glossary
Glossary: time clock and compliance terms explained
Plain-English definitions for GPS time tracking and labor law concepts.
- Geo-fence
- A virtual boundary around a physical location. Hub creates a geo-fence around each job site address. Clock-in is only allowed when the team member's GPS is inside the geo-fence.
- Buddy punching
- Payroll fraud where one employee clocks in or out for another employee. GPS geo-fencing prevents buddy punching because the clock-in requires physical presence at the job site.
- FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act)
- US federal law requiring employers to maintain accurate records of hours worked for all non-exempt (hourly) employees, including start time, end time, and total hours. Hub's GPS records satisfy this requirement.
- Non-exempt employee
- An employee who is entitled to overtime pay under FLSA (typically hourly workers). Field service team members paid by the hour are usually non-exempt and subject to FLSA hour tracking requirements.
- Time correction request
- A team-member-submitted request to adjust a clock-in or clock-out timestamp when a legitimate error occurred (e.g., forgot to clock in, phone died). Hub logs the correction request and manager approval in the audit trail.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about GPS Time Clock
How does Hub verify the team member's location at clock-in?
Hub uses the phone's GPS to check that the team member is within a configurable radius of the job site address (default 500 feet). If the team member is outside that radius, clock-in is blocked with a location error.
What if the job site has poor GPS accuracy (indoor, dense urban)?
You can expand the geo-fence radius for specific job types (e.g., high-rise buildings, basement work). Hub logs the expanded radius in the time record. Managers can also manually approve clock-ins that fall just outside the geo-fence.
Does Hub track the team member's location throughout the shift, or just at clock-in/out?
By default, Hub only records location at clock-in and clock-out. Continuous location tracking during the shift is an optional setting that must be enabled by the business owner and disclosed to employees.
Are GPS time records legally admissible for FLSA compliance?
Yes. GPS-stamped records with timestamp, location, and employee ID meet FLSA record-keeping requirements for non-exempt employees. Hub retains records for 3 years by default.
Can team members dispute a missed clock-in?
Yes. Techs can submit a time correction request in Hub. The manager receives the request, can view the GPS context, and approves or denies. All corrections are logged in the audit trail.
