SkieCan drivers be tracked only when they are on duty?
Partly. Skie lets you set schedule windows by day and time, so you can agree tracking hours with your drivers. Switching location automatically by duty status is not available yet, and the team is working on it. Staff cannot turn location off on a managed device, so agree the hours in a written policy.
Many drivers and companies want the same thing: location while the vehicle is working, privacy when it is not. That is a fair position, and in many places it is what regulators expect.
What Skie does today is give you schedules. A window has days, start, end and an allowed app set, and it can run overnight. You can use windows so that driving apps are available on the shift and nothing is available off shift. Location on a managed device is a protected background service that the user cannot switch off, so the dashboard shows where the device is, whenever it is on.
That is the honest limit: there is no duty toggle that stops tracking at the end of a shift. If you need tracking limited to working hours, the practical answers are to collect the device at shift end, to restrict page access to location by role so only a few people can see it, and to put the policy in writing, including how long location history is kept. Configurable retention is not available yet.
Pair this with a short consent form and a notice on the vehicle or in the contract. Skie provides controls and your organisation provides notices. This is general information, not legal advice, and local rules vary.
A practical tip: hand over company devices only for company use, and keep personal phones out of the arrangement. That keeps the on-duty question simple.
