Worked Scenario: Reviewing a Missed Punch Request

Start with the case trigger: A worker reports that a clock-out was missed. The shift appears on the schedule, but there is no matching end event in the attendance record before the timecard review deadline. Then verify the source assignment or event and name the accountable owner before changing records.

Use the proposed sequence for this situation: 1. Link the request to the worker, site, shift and missing event. 2. Record the requested time and worker explanation separately from the original record. 3. Review schedule and available attendance evidence. 4. Route the requested adjustment to an authorized reviewer. 5. Update the time record only after the configured decision is complete. The designated owner must confirm the actual configured workflow before applying it.

If the worker's request conflicts with available events or supervisor records, ask for clarification and preserve both accounts. A supervisor must not silently overwrite the source event or approve their own adjustment when policy requires another reviewer.

Keep the original event state, request reference, supporting evidence, reviewer, decision timestamp and reason. Mark the request as pending until a decision is recorded.

An approved correction moves into the remaining time review and wage calculation process. Communicate rejection or additional evidence requests to the worker, and include unresolved cases in the payroll close escalation.

The case is closed when the request has an explicit approved, rejected or returned status, the time record reflects only authorized changes, the worker has been informed, and payroll can identify the final approved version.

Keep it open, identify a named owner and next action, and use the escalation described for this case: If the worker's request conflicts with available events or supervisor records, ask for clarification and preserve both accounts. A supervisor must not silently overwrite the source event or approve their own adjustment when policy requires another reviewer.

This is an illustrative workflow example, not a customer outcome, legal conclusion, credential validation or guarantee of automation. Interpret records only within the configured process and available evidence.

Only when the case creates or changes time or payable-hour data. Approved records should follow the handoff described here: An approved correction moves into the remaining time review and wage calculation process. Communicate rejection or additional evidence requests to the worker, and include unresolved cases in the payroll close escalation. Hirebase calculates pay; the provider processes and disburses wages.

Record the decision and reviewer, preserve the source references in this case's evidence trail, communicate the outcome and leave any remaining follow-up with an owner. Apply the acceptance condition: The case is closed when the request has an explicit approved, rejected or returned status, the time record reflects only authorized changes, the worker has been informed, and payroll can identify the final approved version.

Begin with the trigger described here: A worker reports that a clock-out was missed. The shift appears on the schedule, but there is no matching end event in the attendance record before the timecard review deadline. Confirm scope and an accountable owner before changing operational records.

The Link owner should assign a named reviewer and due point. Use the organization's configured responsibilities for this case.

Check the authoritative schedule, attendance or workflow record named by the business owner. A copied spreadsheet should not silently replace the source system.

Capture the original state, request or observation, source reference, requester and time. Keep a proposed change separate from an approved decision.

Give the worker a clear channel to provide context or receive the decision, consistent with the organization's established process and privacy controls.

Keep the original event state, request reference, supporting evidence, reviewer, decision timestamp and reason. Mark the request as pending until a decision is recorded.

Escalate when ownership, evidence, authority, privacy or a relevant configured requirement is unclear, or when a deadline is at risk. If the worker's request conflicts with available events or supervisor records, ask for clarification and preserve both accounts. A supervisor must not silently overwrite the source event or approve their own adjustment when policy requires another reviewer.

Pause the decision that depends on it and have the implementation or process owner confirm actual roles and behavior for the deployment.

No. A status or worksheet organizes review; it does not independently prove that a worker is qualified, eligible or legally compliant.

Restrict access to approved roles, use a secure source reference and retain only details needed for the operational review under organizational policy.
