    You can review worker activities on the web portal to see if they have turned off location services or turned on airplane mode on their device. 
  3. Check that the worker's device is communicating with the server.
  4. Review the worker's map from the web portal to confirm it is populating as intended.
  5. Check for any connectivity errors being reported by the worker's device.
  6. If there are discrepancies in the start and end times of shifts, confirm whether the worker has properly logged on and off their shifts. If not, instruct them to do so.
