## What is a verified time record?

A verified time record is a clock-in backed by evidence — not a number typed into a spreadsheet. Every punch behind an IronClock document carries GPS coordinates, photo proof, a physical Smart Tag tap, or all three, with a full audit trail behind it.

### Four Layers of Proof on Every Punch

IronClock verifies presence at the moment of the clock-in, then preserves the evidence. The hours on the document are the hours actually worked.

#### GPS Coordinates

Every clock-in and clock-out is stamped with the crew member's exact GPS coordinates and a precise timestamp, tied to a specific job site. Off-site punches are flagged automatically.

#### Photo Proof

Mobile clock-ins capture a selfie at the moment of the punch, so every hour on the record is tied to the person who actually worked it — buddy punching has no way in.

#### NFC Smart Tag

IronClock Smart Tags mounted at the site entrance require a physical phone tap to clock in. The tap and the GPS lock both have to happen on site — presence is proven, not assumed.

#### Audit Trail

Every punch, edit, and approval is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail. What you see on the exported document is what happened in the field, with the history to back it up.

### Why That Mark Is on Your Document

If a timesheet, payroll report, or compliance record carries the “Powered by IronClock” mark, you received a document generated by IronClock — the construction time tracking and compliance platform. The figures on it weren't typed in by hand; they were assembled from verified clock events captured in the field.

That means the hours, sites, and attendance on the page trace back to GPS-stamped, photo-backed punches with a tamper-evident audit trail — the kind of record that holds up in a billing dispute, a payroll question, or an OSHA audit.
