If you start work and only notice later that the time clock was not running, you have the following options:
1) Enter the working time via the entry form
If the admin has allowed you or your manager to enter time entries via the entry form, you can enter the working time.
2) Start the time clock later
1. Start the time clock later When you notice that you forgot to start the time clock, you do it right away and start the time clock. In the afternoon, at the end of the workday, you stop the time clock. Stopping it saves the time entry — with a start time that is later than the actual one.
2. Edit the entry
In the time clock window, you see the Go to list view link. Click it to go to the list view of time entries. The new entry is at the top of the list. For that entry, click the green pencil button (= Edit). Now you can adjust the start time.
3. Approve the change Depending on the time tracking settings, changes to a time entry take effect immediately or must be approved by your manager. If approval is needed, your manager receives an email and can approve or reject the change with one click.
