Correction Punch Application
When employees are unable to clock in or out normally for any reason, they can apply for a correction punch through Swipepoint. They need to explain the reason for the missed punch and provide the actual clock-in and clock-out times. The correction punch requires approval from a supervisor or the HR department, in accordance with company policies. Employees should be familiar with and adhere to the company's attendance policy to avoid excessive reliance on correction punches, which may attract the attention of management.
When an employee forgets or is unable to clock in during their working hours (whether it's for starting or ending their shift), they may need to submit a missed clock-in request. The process for missed clock-in typically involves the employee making a request through SWIPEPOINT, explaining the reason for their failure to clock in and providing the actual clock-in or clock-out times for that day. This request usually needs to be reviewed and approved by their supervisor or the HR department. However, the specific policy and process for missed clock-ins may vary from one company to another. SWIPEPOINT® understands that some companies may have strict policies, such as limiting the number of missed clock-in requests allowed or not permitting them under certain circumstances. Therefore, employees should be aware of and adhere to their company's attendance policy. It's important to note that excessive reliance on missed clock-in requests may raise concerns from the HR department or supervisors, as it may reflect potential issues related to time management or other underlying problems.
