Scenario: Punching in late with Webpunch
Amy is scheduled for a two-hour shift on February 14th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, as assigned by her manager in the Manager Portal.
On March 13th, Amy has car trouble and arrived nearly 15 minutes late for her shift. To clock in, Amy uses Webpunch and follows these steps:
- She logs into the Webpunch interface using her designated device.
- She punches in for her shift by selecting the appropriate option.
- She adds a comment in the designated field explaining the reason for her late arrival (e.g., "Car trouble caused delay").
- She submits her punch.
This action records Amy's adjusted start time and includes the reason for her tardiness, which her manager can review later in the system.
Key takeaway
Webpunch makes it easy for employees to communicate unexpected changes, such as late arrivals, by allowing them to add explanatory comments when punching in. This ensures accurate records while providing transparency for managers.
