Nobody is forcing the participants to stay, of course, but if they leave, they won’t be paid — their movements are being tracked with geolocation.
You have to be there to get paid, and that is a good way for them to know you actually are. Is there any other way I wonder ..
EDIT: did you mean that the app should turn off tracking when you're not "working"? then you're right but maybe it is due to software or hardware limitations.
- Clubber 9y agoPeople will get a cheap throw-away Android phone, install the app, sign up, turn on tracking, then hide the phone somewhere near the restaurant, then go do their daily chores. Under the stand up ashtray is probably best, no one will look under there. Not that I would condone such a thing.
- notyourwork 9y agoI suspect for what they pay this would be extremely inefficient with much more hastle free ways to make money. Just my opinion though.
- owenversteeg 9y agoSadly I imagine the GPS or cell data reception under the ashtray is subpar. The app might also check accelerometer data to check that the phone is slightly moving, or buzz the user after a few minutes.
- cakedoggie 9y agoThat is trivially easy to detect.
