- Break records
- Manual time requests
- Clock-in and clock-out history
This helps confirm that employee work hours are accurate before payroll is processed.
Reviewing Manual Timesheet Requests
Sometimes staff members may forget to clock in or clock out.
In these situations, cleaners or managers may submit a manual timesheet request.
Steps to Review Requests
- Open the Timesheet Requests section
- Review the submitted reason
- Check related task details
- Approve or reject the request
Example reasons may include:
- Device issue

Check the following:

This helps avoid payment mistakes and incorrect salary calculations.
