Hirebase Reference: Location Boundaries and Geofenced Attendance
How the published Hirebase attendance description frames admin-selected site boundaries, punch-time checks, and review of location exceptions.
Explore 8 questionsThe short answer
What matters for your decision
Hirebase describes geofenced attendance using a boundary selected by an administrator for a job location, with the radius adjustable down to ten metres. That setting is not a guarantee of GPS precision. Buyers should test their entrances, adjacent sites, devices, and exception policy before rollout.
Treat each boundary as an operating decision
The administrator selects a boundary per job location; the published product material says it can be configured down to ten metres. Choose a radius with operations and site owners, and document why it fits the physical layout. A configurable radius does not establish device accuracy.
Test real site conditions
Walk the expected entrance, parking area, adjacent buildings, and any shared campus with representative devices. Check both a valid arrival and a location that should be reviewed. Record device, time, site, expected result, and the owner who resolves an exception.
Define the correction path
Decide how a worker reports a valid location exception, who reviews it, what evidence is retained, and how a correction reaches attendance approval. Do not treat a missing location signal as proof that a worker was absent.
Keep policy and software configuration distinct
The geofence is an operational control. The employer remains responsible for worker notice, policy, and local legal review. Set collection, access, retention, and exception rules with the organization's qualified owners.

8 of 8 questions
Who selects the geofence radius?
The published product description identifies an administrator as selecting the boundary for a job location. Confirm how that role is assigned in the proposed implementation.
Link to this answerWhat is the smallest documented radius?
Hirebase's current product description says the radius can be configured down to ten metres. This is a configuration option, not a statement about GPS accuracy.
Link to this answerDoes a geofence prove a worker's exact indoor position?
No. A boundary check should not be described as precision proof of an indoor position. Test site conditions and define a review path for uncertain readings.
Link to this answerHow should a multi-entrance site be tested?
Test each expected entrance, nearby public area, shared campus boundary, and adjacent tenant location with representative devices. Document the intended result and escalation owner.
Link to this answerCan every site use the same radius?
The published description supports per-location configuration. The appropriate setting depends on the site layout and operating policy; decide it with the location owner.
Link to this answerShould managers edit a boundary without review?
Set a named owner and approval process for boundary changes. Retain the reason and effective date so later attendance reviews can understand which setting applied.
Link to this answerDoes geofencing settle employment-law questions?
No. It is a product control, not legal advice. Have qualified HR or counsel review notice, consent, access, and retention requirements for each jurisdiction.
