People forget to clock out, tap in at the wrong site, or work a shift the app never recorded. Correct all of it from Timesheets.

Admins can always edit and add entries. Managers only at their assigned locations, only while that location's toggles allow it, and never on their own timesheet.

Fix a wrong time

  1. 1

    Find the shift

    Open Timesheets and use the Daily, Weekly or Monthly view and the date arrows to reach the day.

  2. 2

    Open the entry

    Select the pencil icon on the row.

  3. 3

    Change what's wrong

    You can change Date, Location, Clock In, Clock Out, Brk Start, Brk End, Notes and Status (Pending, Approved or Rejected). Leaving Clock Out empty keeps the shift open.

  4. 4

    Select Save Changes

    Atteny recalculates the hours, the break deduction and the week's overtime. Overtime is time beyond the weekly contracted hours, so a fix on Monday can change Friday's split.

Add a missing shift

  1. 1

    Select Add Entry

    On Timesheets in the web app, select Add Entry in the top-right corner.

  2. 2

    Fill in the shift

    Pick the Employee, Location and Date, then Clock In and Clock Out. Breaks and notes are optional; where the location adds scheduled breaks automatically, Atteny applies them.

  3. 3

    Save it

    An admin's entry is approved straight away. A manager's goes to Pending unless that location has Manager adds/edits require admin approval switched off.

When an approved entry changes

A corrected entry carries an Edited badge — hover it to see who edited it and when. If a manager edits an entry at a location that requires admin approval, the status drops back to Pending for an admin to approve again. An admin's edit keeps whatever status is in the dialog.

Adds, edits and deletes are recorded in Settings → Audit Log as Timesheet updated, Timesheet created manually and Timesheet deleted, with the old and new times. If your edit closes a shift that was still running, the employee is notified that you clocked them out.

Who is allowed to edit

The toggles are per location, under Locations → (your location) → Timesheets → Manager permissions: Allow managers to manually add timesheet entries, Allow managers to edit timesheet entries and Manager adds/edits require admin approval. Settings → Access & permissions decides how much a manager can see, not what they may change.

Delete in the edit dialog removes the entry for good. Rejecting keeps the record and the reason instead — see Reviewing and approving timesheets.
