1. Shopl guide for Employees

1-1. Request to modify workplace location on app

If the registered workplace location differs from what you know of, you can request to modify the information based on the correct address & latitude and longitude on map.

Once approved by the leader/administrator, you will be able to punch-in/out from the correct location. In case the request is rejected, please contact the system admin in your organization. 

 

1-2. Refresh GPS Accuracy on app

If the location on the map differs from your current location, it's likely due to weak GPS signals or errors. Refresh the current location on the app with refresh button. Once you confirm the location is accurate, try to punch-in again.
