Correct an attendance record

Before you start

Only the business owner can correct attendance from this page. Find out the actual clock and break times before you change the record.

The date shown in the edit window cannot be changed. If the record is on the wrong date, delete it from the edit window and add a missing attendance entry on the correct date.

Steps

1. Go to Attendance.

2. Set the start and end dates above the table. Use the employee filter if you need to narrow the list.

3. Open the menu at the end of the employee's row and click Edit.

   

4. Correct Clock In and Clock Out. For an overnight shift, a time earlier than Clock In is saved on the next day. The window shows Next day below that time.

5. Correct each Break Start and Break End. Click Add break if another break is missing, or Remove beside a break that should not be there.

6. Click Save Changes.

What happens next

Timekeep saves the clock and break times, then recalculates late, overtime, undertime, and overbreak against the schedule and current time-tracking settings. The updated minutes appear in the attendance table.

This correction does not rewrite a payslip that was already created. If the attendance belongs to an existing payroll run, follow the rerun guidance in Run your first payroll.

Common problems

• Edit is missing from the row menu. Only the business owner sees this control.
• The record still shows Incomplete. Check that Clock Out is filled in. An incomplete record can stop a payroll run until it is corrected.
