When there's a dispute, the record speaks — for both of you.

No. CrewBrief captures GPS coordinate snapshots at the moments you act — clocking in or out at a stop. There is no background location access and no movement history. The record shows where you were at each punch, nothing more.

CrewBrief uses the device's native GPS — the same signal used by Google Maps and Apple Maps. Spoofing it requires third-party apps and deliberate effort. The geofence radius is set by the company at job creation, so a clock-in from across town is automatically blocked. The GPS coordinate is also stored in the audit trail, so any anomaly is visible on review.

Yes. CrewBrief supports both worker classifications. When you create a job, you choose W-2 Employee or 1099 Contractor. W-2 workers skip the Independent Contractor Agreement entirely, and their records are kept under employee rules. Every worker verifies with a phone they control — the same one-time-code verification for W-2 and 1099.

Either side can raise an objection on a submitted or sealed session. Both parties see the same evidence — GPS snapshots, photos, and work notes. An objection can be resolved as record-upheld, escalated, or adjusted; an adjustment only takes effect when both parties sign the exact same correction. The original sealed record is never edited, and every objection step is logged in the audit trail.

CrewBrief is not a payroll processor or tax filing service. What it does is give you a clean, accurate record of every session — hours worked, rate, total paid, and worker classification. The Tax tab on the dashboard shows annual totals per worker, flags 1099 workers who cross the IRS reporting threshold for that tax year, and lets you export a summary for your accountant or payroll software.

The worker-facing side of CrewBrief is fully bilingual — English and Spanish. Workers can toggle their language at any point. All key screens (job terms, clock-in, clock-out checklist, work order) are translated. The company dashboard stays in English.

Session data is scoped to the job. The company that created the job sees all sessions for that job. The worker sees only their own sessions. No other parties have access. CrewBrief does not sell or share your data. Proof records are only generated and shared when you explicitly export them.

CrewBrief is built for any team lead who needs GPS-documented, photo-documented proof of work. The core use cases are construction and trades, property management and rehab crews, film and production day players, event staffing, and government contracting. If you manage a crew and need accountability records, CrewBrief works for you.
