Overview: If your employer allows for edits, you can manually add punches from our website and mobile app.

Important: In order to be able to add a punch or punch & select time, your Administrator must allow edits. If you don't have the option to edit, then your Manager or Administrator will need to add your punches for you.

FAQ:

Q: Why don't I see the option to edit my punches or punch and select time?

A: If you don't see the option to punch and select time or edit your punches, your employer doesn't have edits enabled for you. If you believe this is an error, please reach out to your administrator.
