Time punches are approved at the bottom of each schedule. For example, if you have a "FOH" schedule, you'd approve those time punches from the FOH schedule as shown below.
At the bottom of the schedule, press the Approval Link as shown below
From the Daily Summary pop-up, you can observe all time punches, relative to their scheduled shifts.
- Check the "Manager Approved" checkbox for each punch to approve. Alternatively, you can check "Approve All" at the top of the window. Both methods are shown below.
- You must qualify a NO SHOW shift for it to be approved. This means you must select from the dropdown "Excused", "Unexcused", etc., or add a missing time punch.
- If an employee is marked as LATE, you should also qualify its status, ie "Excused", "Unexcused", etc.
If you would like to add a Comment to this punch, visible to other admins AND the employee, use the comment window shown below and press Update.
Certain events, such as a Force-Clock-Out, require the punch to be edited before it can be approve. Similarly, a break longer than 1 hour or an employee comment will force you to check that you're aware before punch can be approved.
When all punches and no-shows have been approved, the day "Turns Green". Thus, any links that remain red are days that require further attention.
