# Why do I have a geo-fence warning?

What geo-fence warnings mean and how to resolve them

Your location is recorded when you clock in with the Prospr app (on mobile or [desktop](app.prospr.work)) to confirm that you are at your worksite. If you are outside the set location when you are clocking in, you’ll receive a pop-up alert.

Sometimes you can proceed to “Clock In” anyway, but in some cases you will receive a different error, and your Clock In button will not be clickable:
