When to use this form
Use this form when a punch is wrong or missing and payroll has not run yet. For example, you forgot to clock in at 8:00 AM, your lunch was auto-deducted but you worked through, or a kiosk clocked you to the wrong location. Hourly employees, managers, and payroll all benefit: you get paid correctly, supervisors see accurate labor costs, and HR keeps an audit trail. If you need to log weekly hours, send updates through the Employee timesheet form. If the issue came from swapping shifts with a coworker, also note the change or submit a Shift swap request form so schedules match the correction.
Must Ask Time Clock Correction Questions
- What date and shift need correction?
Pinpointing the exact date, shift, and location helps your manager find the right record and resolve it fast. It also keeps changes tied to the correct pay period.
- What was recorded and what should it be?
Listing the original in/out times and the corrected times (and total hours if known) removes guesswork. Payroll can update the entry without back-and-forth.
- What is the reason for the change?
Stating whether it was a missed punch, early/late start, meal deduction, or device issue shows if more action is needed. If it was a technical problem, report it through the Clock in out error form so IT can prevent repeats.
- Which location, job, or department should these hours be charged to?
Assigning the correct cost center ensures labor hits the right budget and project. This protects reporting accuracy and compliance during audits.
- Has your manager approved this update?
Manager sign-off confirms the change is valid and timely. If the shift itself changed, also submit a Schedule change request form to keep schedules aligned.
