Preventing Evasion of Shift and Geo Policies
Fareclock automatically blocks the following evasion techniques:
Location permission not granted – If the app does not have access to location services.
Fake location (Android) – On app version 2.12+, fake locations are blocked by default. For older versions, an optional setting is available.
You can also configure additional settings to block other evasion methods:
Step 1: Go to the Fareclock Admin Console and navigate to Operations. Under the Operations section, find and click Devices.
Step 2: Click the Settings tab above.
Geo Settings
Block punches if location is not available – Prevents punches when geo coordinates cannot be obtained.
Block devices with location services turned off – Locks out Android devices when location services are disabled (requires app version 2.12+). Not applicable to iOS or Airplane Mode.
Block devices with fake location (Legacy) – For older Android app versions. Less reliable and may cause false positives.
Security Settings
Prevent time tampering – See our help article: Can Workers Change the Device Time to Manipulate Punch Records?
Block rooted devices – Restricts rooted Android devices.
Block airplane mode – Locks Android devices if Airplane Mode is enabled (requires app version 2.12+).
Synchronization Settings
Require device be online – Ensures punches are only allowed when the device is connected to the internet.
