Add a missing attendance entry

Before you start

Only the business owner can add an attendance entry from this page. The employee must already be in Staff. Check the kiosk first if the punch may still be waiting to sync, as explained under A punch is missing.

Have the date and actual times ready. A schedule for that date lets Timekeep work out late, overtime, undertime, and overbreak.

Steps

1. Go to Attendance.

2. Open the More menu above the table and click Add Entry.

   

3. Choose the Employee and Date.

4. Enter Clock In. This field is required.

5. Enter Clock Out if the employee finished the attendance session. Leaving it empty creates an open record, which is normally shown as Incomplete.

6. Enter Break Start and Break End if the employee took a recorded break. The add window accepts one break. You can add more breaks later by correcting the record.

7. For an overnight shift, enter the next morning's time as Clock Out. When it is earlier than Clock In, Timekeep saves it on the next day.

8. Click Create Entry.

What happens next

The entry appears in the table. Timekeep matches it to a schedule and calculates the attendance minutes when enough information is available. Adding attendance does not rewrite a payslip that already exists.

Common problems

• The employee is not in the list. Only active employees shown to your business can be selected.
• Timekeep says the employee already has an attendance record or open session. Close the window and correct the existing record instead of adding a duplicate.
• Add Entry is missing from More. Only the business owner sees this control.
