Employee Location Tracking

AT&T has something

LINK

There are also tons of apps you can use. I use an app called Pruvan that allows my workers to sign in at a job and even transmit photos to me in real time from the jobs. We take a lot of photos anyway to turn into banks for payment and Pruvan speeds up the process instead of waiting on them to Dropbox me the photos.

Actsoft Comet Tracker. 21 bucks.

I own a service business and we have 5 vehicles on the road at any given time. We are trying to find an inexpensive tracking system. We thought about google plus location sharing, but that does not allow you to see much detail...Any ideas? Could be an app locally installed on a phone.

Sounds like you have an idea on how to implement something, but my question is: Have you hashed the policy out yet?

Have you talked to your employees (I'm guessing so). But do you have the new policy in place and ready? What I mean by this is, do you have a policy that governs the use of company vehicles? Do you have a progressive, escalating discipline policy for your office in terms of your employee manual or code of conduct? How will your new policy fold into that?

IE-Have you spelled out, "You can only use the truck for business purposes. Here are examples of biz purposes. Here are examples of what is not a biz purpose."

From there, have you spelled out, "If you violate the policy, here's how you will be punished based on the policy."

From there, have you spelled out, "We will monitor employee adherence to this policy by [using an app/smartphones/etc]?"

If you haven't, you need to. If this is making you think you need to take a look at your employee handbook or policy manual, it won't take long and you'll save yourself some money from Unemployment claims and UI Taxes if you do.

Just my $0.02...

Ever had an employee quit while he had a company vehicle?

My dads company did, 3 weeks later they found it somewhere in bumfrick MS.

You can put GPS trackers in the vehicles and monitor on computer. Notifies you when speed is excessive also. Not sure how expensive.

You're wrong, I work for a company that has over 2000 company vehicles with no monitoring. I just think there are better ways, set clear rules and give your employees trust (Our workforce is highly educated, trustworthy and passed strict background and personality tests)

Technology can be useful but not always necessary....guess it depends on your line of work.

A company tracking its own assets should be illegal?

Look up geotab. It uses Sprint.
