WhatsApp Geo-Clocking & GPS Attendance
Payroll Africa provides WhatsApp geo-clocking for employees to record clock-ins, clock-outs and breaks with GPS verification. South African employers can manage worksite attendance alongside timesheets and payroll. It gives teams a WhatsApp-based attendance workflow while keeping recorded working time available for review before payroll is processed.
Record attendance through WhatsApp
Employees use the WhatsApp attendance workflow to record the start and end of their working time. Break records help employers review the working day beyond a single arrival timestamp.
- Clock in and clock out
- Record breaks
- GPS-verified attendance events
Review location against worksites
Worksites give attendance records an operational context. GPS verification supports review of where a clocking event was recorded.
A location record is evidence to assess alongside your attendance policy, not a substitute for fair management or an investigation.
Connect clocking records with timesheets
Attendance and timesheets sit alongside payroll so administrators can review working time before preparing employee pay.
- Attendance visibility for administrators
- Timesheet review
- Corrections before payroll processing
Set clear expectations for employees
Explain which worksite employees should use, when breaks must be recorded and how missed clockings should be reported.
GPS-verified clocking concerns attendance events. It should not be described to employees as continuous location tracking.
