Forgot to clock out? Auto clock-out and long shift alerts
Updated Nov 12, 2026
Forgetting to clock out is common. Geowork has two settings to catch it.
Auto Clock-Out
When it's on, Geowork ends a shift that's still open after a set number of hours. It's off until an admin turns it on.
- Web: Settings > Work > Auto Clock-Out, then pick a Default max shift (14 hours unless you change it).
- Phone app (Supervisor mode): Me > Shift settings > Auto clock-out, with After N hours from 4 to 24.
You can set a different limit for one worker. In Workers, select the worker and click Override for this worker.
Long shift alert
Also in Shift settings. When a shift has been open for the hours you choose, the crew member, their supervisor and the job thread get a message. A crew member with the app open sees "You've been clocked in for N hours. If you've finished, please clock out."
Clocking someone out yourself
If a worker's shift is past the limit, open them in Workers and click Clock out this worker. The worker's record shows who clocked them out and when.
The clock-out time is wrong
An auto or supervisor clock-out records the time it happened, which may be later than when the person actually stopped working. To set the real time, see Fixing a wrong time entry.
