What matters for your decision
This illustrative scenario shows a reviewable path for the case: A supervisor identifies a discrepancy between a shift record and site information and requests a correction before payroll close. The worker's account and original record must remain reviewable. Steps and responsibilities must be matched to the organization's configured Hirebase deployment and policies.
1. Start with the trigger
A supervisor identifies a discrepancy between a shift record and site information and requests a correction before payroll close. The worker's account and original record must remain reviewable.
2. Proposed steps
1. Identify the affected worker, shift and source event. 2. State the supervisor's observed facts and proposed correction separately. 3. Notify or collect worker context according to organizational policy. 4. Route the request through the configured reviewer chain. 5. Apply only the authorized decision and record its effect on the timecard.
3. Exceptions and limits
A supervisor observation does not automatically establish the correct time. If records conflict, a reviewer has a conflict of interest, or the request is late, escalate to the next designated owner and preserve the open status until resolved.
4. Evidence to preserve
Retain the original event, supervisor request, worker response if available, supporting source references, independent reviewer, decision reason and timestamps.
5. Handoff
Approved changes proceed to job/time review and pay calculation. The payroll owner checks the changed record against the prior approved batch or close snapshot and handles provider submission under the established process.
6. Acceptance
Complete when the correction has independent approval where required, the source history remains intact, affected people are informed, and the final approved time is identifiable for the close.
