based at least partially on the obtained third input, signing the first user out of the remote employee management system.
26 . The method of claim 24 , wherein the reactivating the sign-out user interface element is further based on completion of a post-event questionnaire, displayed on the user interface, the post-event questionnaire confirming whether the first user took all required breaks including the break.
27 . The method of claim 21 , further comprising:
obtaining selection of the sign-out user interface element by the first user via the user interface; and
based on the obtained selection of the sign-out user interface element, generating a pay summary module for the user interface, the pay summary module estimating pay for the first user based on A) a pay rate for the first user, B) a sign-in time of the first user to the remote employee management system, and C) a sign-out time of the first user to the remote employee management system corresponding to a time of the selection of the sign-out user interface element by the first user,
wherein the pay for the first user excludes the break period.
28 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the providing the user interface to the mobile device is based on logging of the first user into the remote employment management system.
29 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the logging of the first user into the remote employment management system is based on verifying that one or more geo-locations of the first user, obtained via one or more location detection components of the mobile device, are in a predetermined geo-fenced clock-in/clock-out verification area of the authorized remote job location.
30 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the logging of the first user into the remote employment management system is based on verifying that one or more geo-locations of the first user are within the authorized remote job location using one or more photographs and/or one or more videos captured by a camera of the mobile device.
31 . The method of claim 30 , wherein the authorized remote job location is a secondary location outside of a predetermined geo-fenced clock-in/clock-out verification area of a primary location assigned to the first user.
32 . The method of claim 21 , further comprising:
generating a paycheck for the first user based on A) the authorized remote job location, B) an employee position of the first user, and C) an estimated amount of hours worked by the first user, wherein the estimated amount of hours worked by the first user excludes the break period.
33 . A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for managing employee break time within a remote employment management system, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
provide, to a mobile device of a first user at an authorized remote job location, a user interface including a sign-out user interface element and a break time user interface element;
determine that approval for a break for the first user has been obtained from a second user;
based on the determining that the approval has been obtained from the second user:
render the break time user interface element on the user interface in an activated state that allows interaction with the break time user interface element by the first user on the user interface;
detect first input by the first user via the break time user interface element in the activated state on the user interface;
based on the detected first input, generate a record including a start time corresponding to a break period;
obtain second input by the first user via the break time user interface element, wherein the second input is indicative of an end of the break period; and
based on the obtained second input, update the record with an end time corresponding to the break period.
34 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 33 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computing system, further cause the computing system to:
