Time Tracking for Construction Sites UK

Yes. GPS clock-in uses the worker's mobile data connection, not site Wi-Fi. As long as the worker has a basic mobile signal on their smartphone, they can clock in from any building site in the UK. The QR code method requires a brief data connection to validate the scan, which works on standard 4G.

NoBadge automatically records start time, end time, and breaks for every worker on every shift. These timestamped, GPS-verified records satisfy the employer's obligation to keep "adequate records" under the Working Time Regulations 1998. Reports are exportable for HSE inspections or Employment Tribunal submissions at any time.

Yes. NoBadge supports unlimited sites at no extra cost. Each site has its own GPS geofence and/or QR code. Workers can be assigned to one or multiple sites. The admin dashboard shows attendance across all sites in a single consolidated view, making it ideal for contractors managing multiple projects simultaneously.

No. NoBadge uses a Progressive Web App (PWA) that opens directly in any smartphone browser — Android or iOS. Workers receive a link via WhatsApp or email, tap it, and they're ready to clock in. No app store, no account creation required for workers. Setup takes under 2 minutes per person.

NoBadge uses two anti-fraud mechanisms. For GPS clock-in, a configurable geofence ensures workers can only clock in within a set radius of the site location, plus an anti-spoofing layer detects fake GPS apps. For QR code clock-in, the code regenerates every second, making it impossible to photograph and share in advance. Both methods record precise GPS coordinates at the time of clock-in.

Yes. NoBadge only captures GPS location at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — it does not continuously track workers throughout the day. Data is stored on EU servers, and a Data Processing Agreement is available. This approach is proportionate and lawful under UK GDPR for the legitimate purpose of verifying attendance at work. Workers are informed at onboarding.
