GPS Clock In & Out That Proves Care Was Delivered
GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out with geofencing, out-of-location flags and late or missing clock-out detection — turning every visit into an accurate, evidenced record.
Accurate visit times you can trust
When visit times are logged on paper or by memory, hours drift, payroll leaks money and you can't prove attendance to commissioners. Carionex captures a GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out for every visit, so you know a carer was at the client's home when they said they were.
Geofencing checks the carer is within range of the client's address, out-of-location clock events are flagged for review, and late or missing clock-outs are surfaced automatically — giving you accurate times for payroll, invoicing and CQC evidence.
The problems this solves
- Inflated or guessed visit times that inflate payroll
- No proof of attendance for commissioners or families
- Missed clock-outs that leave visits open
- Disputes over whether a visit actually happened

How it works in Carionex
Verified clock-in / clock-out
Every visit records a start and end time with GPS location, building an evidenced attendance record.
- Location captured at both ends
- GPS-disabled events flagged
- Attributed to the individual carer
Geofence checking
Carionex compares the carer's location to the client's address and a configurable radius, flagging anything outside it.
Attendance integrity
Out-of-location clock events and time discrepancies are surfaced on an Attendance Integrity dashboard for review and sign-off.
- Out-of-location review workflow
- Late-start and missed clock-out detection
- Manager review and resolution
Straight to payroll
Verified visit times become timesheet lines, so paid hours match delivered hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is GPS clock in for care workers?+
GPS clock in captures a carer's location when they start and finish a visit, proving they were at the client's home. Carionex adds geofencing and out-of-location flags so visit times are accurate and evidenced.
How does geofencing work?+
When a carer clocks in, Carionex compares their GPS location to the client's address and a configurable radius. If they're outside that radius, the event is flagged for a manager to review.
What happens if a carer has no signal?+
Clock-in and clock-out are captured offline and sync automatically when the device regains signal, so remote visits are still recorded accurately.
What if a carer forgets to clock out?+
Late and missing clock-outs are detected automatically and surfaced to the office so they can be corrected, keeping visit times accurate.
Does GPS clock in improve payroll accuracy?+
Yes. Because paid hours are based on verified clock times rather than estimates, payroll reflects the care actually delivered, which reduces overpayment and disputes.
Can carers disable GPS?+
If location is unavailable or disabled, the clock event is flagged as GPS-disabled so managers can follow up, maintaining the integrity of your attendance data.
Is GPS clock in useful for CQC and commissioners?+
Yes. Verified, timestamped visit records provide strong evidence of attendance and continuity of care for CQC inspections and local-authority commissioners.
Does it handle two-carer (double-up) visits?+
Yes. Each carer clocks in and out individually on a double-up visit, so attendance and pay are recorded correctly for both.
