Split Punch

Overview

Split Punch allows an administrator the ability to split a pair of punches to add 2 or more intervening punches.

An administrator may use this feature if an employee forgot to change departments at the clock while working. Split Punch can also be used to add punches if the employee forgot to clock out for a meal or unpaid break period.
