How to edit clock-in and clock-out times

How to edit clock-in and clock-out times#

For: Manager You’ll need: A finished shift on the timesheet whose time entry hasn’t been approved yet.

You’ll fix the actual clock-in or clock-out time on a single row when the recorded value is wrong or missing.

Fix the times#

  1. In the sidebar, go to Planning → Management → Timesheet.

  2. Find the row you want to fix. Use the filters if the list is long — see How to view and filter the timesheet.

  3. Click ‘Edit’ on the row — when the row shows another action first, ‘Edit’ is in its kebab menu (⋮).

  4. In the ‘Clock in’ field, set the actual start time.

  5. In the ‘Clock out’ field, set the actual end time.

  6. Click ‘Save’.

The app corrects your own entries only. A manager fixing someone else’s clock times has to do it on the web.

  1. Tap More in the bottom bar, then ‘Timesheets’.

  2. Tap the row you want to fix — any row that isn’t ‘Approved’ yet.

  3. Tap ‘Correct times’.

  4. Tap ‘Clock in’ and pick the actual start time, then ‘Clock out’ and pick the actual end time. Times are shown in the shift location’s own timezone, and neither can be in the future.

  5. Type why the recorded times are wrong — the reason is required.

  6. Tap ‘Save correction’.

Correcting needs a connection; offline the action isn’t offered.

Tip

On a never-punched row, enter both clock times together. Review the break and paid-hours preview before saving. Unless the break policy says breaks must be punched, expected breaks are recorded with those hours. Existing attendance allows partial corrections and does not receive generated breaks. See Record and review breaks.

Warning

Saving completed times confirms them as you — you don’t need to click ‘Confirm’ afterwards. Whether the save also approves the row depends on your company’s mode (How confirmation and approval work):

  • Manager approval only and ‘Person confirmation + manager approval’ — the row is approved only when ‘Auto-approve timesheets’ is on, the hours are within its tolerance and the break check is clear. Otherwise it waits for ‘Approve’.

  • ‘Automatic’ — a manager’s save approves and locks the row immediately, unless its break check needs review. A worker’s own save waits for a manager: the hourly sweep doesn’t approve hours people typed in themselves.

A save never approves a row that someone unapproved — that takes ‘Approve’. If you need to keep editing an approved row, unapprove it first.

Saving checks the current time entry again. If it has been approved since you opened it, the correction is refused. When you change only one clock time, it is checked against the current value of the other. A time you leave as shown keeps its recorded seconds; only a time you change is saved as entered, as a manual entry. A save that changes neither time keeps an existing confirmation and leaves the accruals as they were — except on an automatic clock-out, where saving the time, even unchanged, verifies it and clears its badge. Clearing both times removes the attendance together with its breaks, and the row goes back to ‘Scheduled’.

Verify it worked#

You’re returned to the timesheet and the row shows the new times.

Locked rows#

If the row has been approved, it offers no ‘Edit’. If it’s approved while you have the edit page open, saving is refused with a warning that starts “Locked —”. Unapprove it first — see What a locked row looks like on the timesheet for how to unlock a row.
