Rejected Punches
Your Time Clocks are designed to reject employee punches when the punch doesn't match the established criteria. For example, if your property has configured a Schedule Lock Out rule and the employee tries to punch in when not scheduled, the punch is stored as a rejection. You have the ability to override the rejection. Any punches that you cannot select (grayed out) cannot be overridden because it violates the integrity of the database.

Field | Description | Notes |
Select | Select a rejected punch using the radio button. | |
Punch | Displays the date and time the punch took place. | Read-only. |
Punch Type | Displays the type of punch that was rejected. For example, when an employee punches In, Out, goes on Break or comes Back from break. | Read-only. |
Job | Displays the job that the employee was attempting to punch. | Read-only. |
Reason | Indicates why the punch was rejected. For example, Schedule lockout period would indicate that the schedule was locked when the employee tried to punch in. | Read-only. |
Time Clock | Displays the name of the time clock on which the employee tried to punch. | Read-only. |
Emp. Override | Indicates whether the employee declined to override the rejection (if the option was offered). Depending on the situation, an employee may see a message when they punch in that says there is something wrong with the punch. If they get that message they are given the opportunity to override the rejection or to decline to override the rejection. For example, if an employee tries to clock in early and your property has rules about how early employees can clock in, a warning saying that the punch will be rejected will be displayed and that asks the employee if they wish to override the rejection or Decline to override the rejection. If the employee has not been authorized to clock in early, they would decline to override the warning and the word Decline would appear in this field. If the field is blank, it means that the employee did not have the opportunity to override the punch. | Read-only. |
Offline | Indicates that the punch took place when the time clock was offline. | Read-only. |
Entered on | Displays the date and time that the punch was recorded. If the date and time in this column don't match the date and time in the Punch column, you will know that the time clock was offline. | Read-only. |
