Summary

Cloudflare has introduced a new beta feature called Workplace Records for its Cloudflare for Teams product. This feature uses Access and Gateway logs to provide the state and country from which employees are working, helping finance, legal, and HR departments determine where payroll taxes are due and providing a record to defend those decisions. The system respects team member privacy by only logging resolution within a taxable jurisdiction, not a specific address. It also helps enforce regional compliance for company policies and can block users from connecting to applications from specific regions. Workplace Records is available as a report for free to all Cloudflare for Teams customers.
