The verification queue

Most clock-outs are approved automatically. When something looks off, Atteny holds the entry back instead and puts it in Pending Checkout Verifications — a card at the top of Timesheets (Records tab) and on your Dashboard. Nothing is counted or approved until you act on it.

What lands here

• A failed GPS check on clock-in — the person was outside their location's radius and asked for approval instead of retrying. They can leave a short note.
• A failed GPS check on clock-out — same thing at the end of the shift, with the note they typed.
• A shift longer than your maximum — set under Settings → Time & attendance → Maximum shift length. The clock-out still works; it just isn't auto-approved.
• Too little rest since the last shift — the Minimum rest between shifts threshold in the same place.
• An auto-closed shift — nobody clocked out, so Atteny closed it and tags the entry Auto-closed.

Clearing an entry

1. 1

   Read the context

   Each row shows the employee, the location, the clock-in and clock-out times, their note, and the scheduled end time — so you can tell a genuine long shift from a forgotten clock-out.

2. 2

   Approve, or fix the time first

   Select Approve if the times are right. If they aren't, select Edit, correct the date and time, add manager notes, then select Approve with Changes.

Approving a flagged clock-in simply lets the shift run — the person is now properly clocked in. Approving a flagged clock-out approves the timesheet outright, so it won't come back in Reviewing and approving timesheets. Either way the employee gets a notification telling them what you decided.
