Key takeaways
- Punch times record when each employee starts and finishes work.
- Set working hours so late and early flags are accurate.
- Review any date range, not just today.
- Spot missed punch-outs before payroll.
- Export the data instead of retyping it.
Punch times are the foundation of attendance. Every punch-in and punch-out is recorded automatically, so there is nothing to fill in by hand.
How punches are recorded
When an employee starts and ends their day, the desktop agent logs the time. Managers see the same record employees do, which keeps disputes rare.
Review late and early
- Set working hours for each department.
- Open the punch-times view and pick a date range.
- Look for late arrivals, early departures and missing punch-outs.
Fix problems before payroll
Check missed punch-outs at the end of each week rather than month end. Small corrections are easier when everyone still remembers the day.
Export, do not retype
Export the records for payroll or your own reporting. Using one source of truth removes copy-paste errors.
