Your company benefits because Workyard provides them better visibility into the profitability of each job, allowing them to continue making the improvements required to grow the company.

Let's talk a little more about how this works on your mobile phone to make sure all of this is transparent.

To generate time cards, Workyard requires access to your location data, even when you're not using the app. This is why your phone needs to have the "Always Allow" setting enabled for our app. We understand that this may make you hesitant, but we want to assure you that we take the privacy and security of your data seriously.

But let us share exactly what we do with your employee location data.

Even though Workyard has access to the location data from their phone, the app NEVER records that data or shares it with your company unless you're clocked in or enter a geofence.

The reason Workyard requires the "Always" setting has everything to do with how the phone is designed. If you used the "While Using" setting instead of "Always Allow" your phone would require that the Workyard app stay open and your phone stays on at all times.

That's impossible.

For one, you are going to need to access different apps throughout the day. If you don't enable "Always Allow", the Workyard app will stop working every time you use a different app. This will result in hours worked not showing up properly on each time card.

The other reason it's impossible to leave an app running all day can best be explained through an example. If you've ever used a map app on your phone like Waze you'll know what that means to your battery life. Let's just say it's a drain.

While you're working, the "Always Allow" setting enables Workyard to run in the background in the phone's locked state without draining your battery, and it frees you up to use all the other apps on your phone. As soon as you take a break or clock out, Workyard stops recording and sharing your location data with your company.

One of the biggest headaches with keeping track of your hours comes when you forget to clock in or out. It happens all the time. And when you do, Workyard is going to provide the proof your company needs.

With Workyard your company can create projects using the location. Workyard uses those locations to create geofences that recognize when employees arrive on the job site so the app can remind you to clock in. Even if you forget to clock in upon arrival when you eventually do Workyard will show the earlier time they arrived.

This GPS stamping helps prevent the back and forth manual work that often goes into getting the time cards right.

Workyard does not share their location or arrival time with your company until they physically clock in or step into a geofence.
