The HR challenge with field attendance
HR teams managing field employees face a fundamental trust problem: self-reported check-ins via messaging apps provide no verifiable proof of presence. When attendance disputes arise, HR has no evidence trail.
GPS-backed shift sessions solve this without 24/7 tracking. Employees start a shift on mobile; GPS captures location during work hours; HR receives structured attendance records tied to actual location trails.
Employee bands and role management
Scootee supports four employee bands (Executive, Manager, Senior Manager, Director) and four roles (employee, sales_manager, director, admin) with configurable expense limits, approval policies, and compensation rules — all manageable from the admin console per organization.
What HR directors get
- Live map of active field employees during shift sessions
- Shift duration and route history for attendance verification
- Team dashboards with coverage gaps and performance metrics
- Automated notifications for shift anomalies and missed sessions
- Exportable attendance reports linked to GPS evidence
Privacy and labor law compliance
Scootee tracks only during explicit shift sessions — not personal time. Communicate policies clearly, provide employees access to their own data, and comply with local location monitoring regulations. This approach satisfies both operational needs and employee privacy expectations.
