Having trouble clocking into your shift? Learn how to improve your location accuracy

To clock into a shift, you will need to be at the facility. Due to the geolocation technology we use, you will not be able to clock in unless you are within a certain distance of the facility.

If you are at the facility, but experiencing trouble clocking in, it could be due to the app having trouble finding your location.

Try connecting to the facility's Wi-Fi. This will greatly improve your device's location accuracy and should help you clock into your shift.

If that doesn't work, we have some suggestions based on your phone's operating system:

Turn on high accuracy mode

  1. Hold down on the ESHYFT app

  2. Tap "App Info".

  3. Tap "Permissions".

  4. Tap "Location".

  5. Tap "Allow only while using the app"

  6. Turn on "Use precise Location"

Find your current location on the map

  1. On your phone, open the Google Maps app.

  2. There should be a blue dot on the map, indicating your current location. If there isn’t a blue dot, at the bottom right, tap the Your Location icon .

  3. Now, try logging into the app.

If that doesn't work, try turning on location services.

Turn on location services

To help Google Maps find your location with the most accurate blue dot, turn on location services.

  1. On your phone, open the Settings app.

  2. Tap "Privacy""Location Services".

  3. Make sure "Location Services" is turned on.

  4. Scroll and select "Google Maps".

  5. Choose "While Using the App" or "Always".
