What should I do If I don’t clock in or out for a shift?
All shifts that an employee does not successfully clock in or out for will need additional verification. The process of additional verification will be collected through Tucked With Care’s missed punch form that would need to be filled out completely and signed by your client, or the administration staff will call client to verify shift worked and times. When either process takes place employees payroll check can be delayed by up to 14 days. So it is very important for every employee to not only clock in and out but to manage over their punches.
Employees who manage over their punches through the app will see a red TS which stands for timesheet required if they have missed a punch in or out on that specific shift. If that happens that employee will need to get additional verification for said shift before shift is paid out through payroll. This is where the additional 14 days can take place.

If another individual wishes to sign the time sheet for a participant because of some disability or challenge, the office must be notified so that authorization from the Service Coordinator can be obtained and the record noted prior to the action being taken and the Clients file can be noted.
