Add, Edit, and Delete Punches

Punches

Punches are entries in an hourly timecard that mark the beginning (in-punch) or end (out-punch) of a work interval, such as the beginning of a shift or transfer.

Add a Punch

Managers can add a missing punch to worked time, if needed.

Navigation:Main Menu > Time > Timecards

Select a cell under the In column to enter a start time for the employee’s shift.
Select a cell under the Out column to enter an end time for the employee’s shift.
Enter times in the standard time AM or PM format or the 24-hour format.
Select Save.
Manager edited punches appear with a black triangle in the upper right corner and are date and time stamped for audit purposes.

Edit a Punch with Punch Actions

When you need to apply a transfer, override a punch, cancel deductions, or add a comment use the Punch Actions.

Navigation:Main Menu > Time > Timecards

Right-click a cell with a punch in the In or Out column.
The Punch Actions glance opens and displays the current information about the punch, such as date, time, override, time zone, exceptions, last edit date, and the person who edited it.
From the Punch Actions glance, select Edit.
From the Punch slider, enter the following information.
- Time (hh:mm) * — You cannot leave this field blank.
  - Based on the time that you enter, if your company uses rounding rules, the system uses the rounded time. For example, if you enter 8:02, the rounded time might be 8:00. The rounded time is used for totals calculations, but the actual time will be displayed on the timecard.
- Transfer — Select the arrow to open the Transfer slider and select the applicable transfer.
- Override — Select whether the time should be considered as an In-punch or an Out-punch by the solution.
- Time Zone — Select the applicable time zone. Use this if you have employees who work in different locations that have different time zones.
- Cancel Deductions — Select one of the listed deduction rules. This is used when the employee has an automatically deducted meal break and does not punch in/out for breaks. If the employee skips a meal, managers can cancel the deduction to pay the employee for the meal time.
- Exceptions — If there is an exception triggered by the solution, the exception name is displayed. You cannot edit this.
- Comments — If there is a comment added to the time, the comment is displayed.
Select Apply and then select Save. The punch edit is recorded in the timecard with applicable indicators.

Delete a Punch

If a punch is added in error, managers can delete the punch.

Navigation:Main > Time > Timecards

Select the punch, then press Delete.
Select Save.
The punch is removed from the timecard.
