Illustrative sample row
The in-page worksheet includes an illustrative sample entry. Replace it with approved local data; it is not a customer outcome. The downloadable CSV is blank apart from its headers.
Submit a clear request
Identify the affected shift and missing event, requested time and worker explanation. Keep the request distinct from an approved correction.
Check supporting records
Review schedule, available punch events and relevant supervisor or site evidence. Record source references and note conflicting information without overwriting it.
Make and record a decision
An authorized reviewer approves, rejects or requests clarification under the organization's configured process. Capture the reviewer, timestamp and reason.
Reconcile downstream time
Ensure the approved adjustment appears in the time record and is included in the appropriate review before pay calculation. Hirebase calculates pay; the payroll provider processes and disburses it.
