Summary
The manager’s confirmation and correction reason should stay attached to the original attendance record.
Use the schedule to locate the exception
Compare the planned shift with recorded start and finish times. A changed shift may be legitimate; the schedule provides context rather than proof of the worked hours.
Ask the manager to confirm the work
Record the shift reference, question and person supplying the answer. Preserve the original punch and the reason for any correction.
Identify what remains unresolved at cutoff
The approver should know which input is missing, who is investigating and the relevant deadline. Follow the process agreed with the payroll provider for late answers.
Review repeated corrections
Recurring missing punches may point to a timekeeping or manager handoff problem. Discuss that process at the next cycle while keeping individual pay questions documented.
