Yes, they can and no, you can't clear it if they have set your iPad up correctly. IP addresses can be traced to specific towns and addresses. The iPad can locate itself by searching WiFi databases even without GPS. So can your employer. That iPad is not yours. It belongs to your employer. You have NO rights to privacy using it. And if you try tampering with certain settings and profile files they will know too. It happened in a school district in California. Students figured out how to modify profiles to remove restrictions. They got their iPads confiscated.
I find it curious that you are trying to hide from your employer while using their property. We had people suspended for using their corporate cell phones to make personal calls. They also had to pay the company back for those calls.
Again, you have no right to privacy in this matter and your employer, if their IT department is savvy, will know when, where, and how you are using their property at all times.
