Time Adjustments: How Admins Can Edit and Correct Time Entries

No time tracking system is perfect — staff forget to clock in, devices go offline, or someone clocks out at the wrong time. That's why NestedClock gives admins full control to edit, add, and correct time entries after the fact.

What Can Admins Adjust?

• Edit clock in/out times: Change the recorded time if a staff member clocked in late or forgot
• Add missing entries: Create a full time entry for a day that was missed entirely
• Adjust break durations: Correct break start/end times
• Add notes: Document why the adjustment was made for audit purposes

How It Works

1. Navigate to the staff member: Go to Staff → click the person → Time Adjustments
2. Select the week: Use the week navigator to find the right period
3. Edit the entries: Click on any day to modify clock in, clock out, or break times
4. Save changes: All adjustments are saved with a timestamp and admin note

Week-by-Week View

The time adjustment page shows a full week at a glance — Sunday through Saturday. For each day you can see:

• Clock in and clock out times
• Break duration
• Total hours worked
• Weekly total at the bottom

This makes it easy to spot gaps, verify hours before payroll, and make corrections in context.

When to Use Time Adjustments

• Missed clock-in: Staff arrived but forgot to clock in — add the entry manually
• Missed clock-out: Staff left but the system shows them still clocked in — add the clock-out time
• Wrong time: Staff clocked in at 9:15 but actually arrived at 9:00 — correct the time
• System issues: Device was offline or browser crashed — recreate the entry

Audit Trail

Every adjustment includes a note field so admins can document the reason. This creates a clear audit trail for payroll disputes, compliance checks, or internal reviews. The original entry is updated, and the admin note is stored alongside it.
