Add Missed Punches

Add, edit, or delete a punch (hourly timecard only)

You can add, edit, or delete punches in the hourly timecard. Depending on your access rights, you can also cancel meal deductions, override a punch, change the time zone, and add comments to existing punches.

To enter or change the time of a punch, click a cell in the In or Out column, enter the time, then click Save.

If you need to add more detail to the punch:

  2. In the Punch Actions glance, click Edit.
  3. In the Punch panel, enter the following information as needed:
    • Time (hh:mm)* — You cannot leave this field blank.
      • Based on the time that you enter, if your company uses rounding rules, the system displays the rounded time. For example, if you enter 8.02, the rounded time might be 8:00. The rounded time is recorded.
    • Transfer — Click the arrow to open the Transfer glance where you can select the business structure, work rule, cost center or labor category for the transfer. Click or Cancel to exit.
    • Override — Select one of the listed overrides.
    • Time Zone — Select the applicable time zone.
    • Cancel Deductions — Select one of the listed deduction rules.
    • Exceptions — If there is an exception in the cell, the exception name is displayed. You cannot edit this.
    • Comments — If there is a comment for the cell, the comment is displayed.
  4. Click Apply.

Note: Punches that cross the day divide display in black, along with phantom midnight day-divide punches regardless of the fixed rule. The totals still display on the days defined by the fixed rule configuration.
