Connect punches to the right work
Confirm the employee, restaurant, location, role, and business date. Compare punches with scheduled work and flag missing or overlapping records for review. A network problem must not silently become an absent employee or zero hours.
Review exceptions before the deadline
Give missed punches, breaks, callouts, and corrections an owner. Preserve the original record, the proposed change, its reason, and the approving role. Employees should see their own permitted records without gaining manager access.
Separate preparation from payroll submission
Review hours, configured rates, tips, labor exceptions, and the exact pay period. A payroll-ready export is a reviewed input; it does not establish that the provider has processed payroll, that wages have been paid, or that every applicable employment rule has been met.
Ask these questions before rollout
Can a manager explain each exception? Can an employee request a correction? What happens when a period is locked? Which role may reopen it? Which source and revision produced the export? Test these boundaries with fictional records before depending on the workflow.
