The Time Tracking Problem

Security companies lose money to time tracking errors:

Paper time sheets and honor-system reporting cost you 2-5% of payroll in overpayment.

GPS-Verified Time Clock

Clock In From the Mobile App

Guards open the GSOC app and tap Clock In when they arrive on-site. App records exact time and GPS coordinates. Clock out at shift end.

GPS Verification

Time punch only works if the guard is within range of the site (you set the geofence radius). Prevents clocking in from home or from the parking lot 3 blocks away.

Stops Buddy Punching

Each guard has their own login. GPS and timestamp prove who clocked in. Can't hand your phone to a coworker to punch you in early.

Automatic Overtime

California AB 2747 overtime calculates automatically: time-and-a-half after 8 hours daily or 40 hours weekly, double time on the 7th consecutive day. No manual math.

Payroll Export

Export approved time cards to CSV for your payroll provider (ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks). Includes regular, overtime, and double-time hours separated per California law.

Auto-Populate From Schedule

GSOC integrates time clock with scheduling:

Common Questions

What if there's no cell signal at the site?
Time punch saves locally on the phone and uploads when signal returns. Guard sees a "queued" status until it syncs.

Can guards clock in early?
You can set early clock-in tolerance (e.g., 15 minutes). If they try to clock in earlier, the app blocks it and tells them when they can punch.

Do we need to buy time clock hardware?
No. Guards use their own smartphones. The GSOC app is free for guards to download.

What if a guard's phone is broken?
Managers can manually clock them in/out from the web dashboard. The manual punch is flagged so you know it wasn't GPS-verified.
