Mobile - How to Enable Geolocation for Mobile Clock-In

Summary

Avenue Engage requires geolocation permissions to validate mobile clock-in. This article explains how to enable geolocation correctly.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the Avenue Engage mobile app.

2. When prompted, allow location access.

3. If the permission was previously denied, go to your phone settings: 

   1. iOS: Settings > Engage > Location > Enable “Allow While Using App”

   2. Android: Settings > Apps > Engage > Permissions > Enable Location

4. Return to the app and complete your Check-In.

Note:

The system requests geolocation permission only once. Your location is captured only at the moment of clock-in.

Legal Use of Geolocation

Mobile clock-in apps are legally valid as long as employer and employee agree to their use. Geolocation-based timekeeping is considered an alternative timekeeping system, regulated by Brazil’s Ministry of Labor (formerly Ordinance 373, now Ordinance 671).

To be legally compliant, mobile clock-in systems must:

• Not restrict clock-in

• Not allow automatic clock-in

• Always be accessible

• Prevent workers from altering or deleting records

Companies may adopt this technology after formal validation through Collective Labor Conventions or Agreements.
