Timesheets

Paper Backfill

When a kiosk could not be used, key the paper sign-in sheet into TempClock with a reason, checked row by row, so the hours reach payroll with a full audit trail.

Overview

Paper as a safety net, not a gap.

If a kiosk is down or the connection is lost, the kiosk tells workers to use the paper sign-in sheet. Afterwards, a supervisor or coordinator keys the sheet in on the Backfill page. Every row is checked before anything is saved, and the whole sheet is saved together or not at all.

Print a Sign-in Sheet

Keep one at each site.

On Time & Pay > Backfill, choose the Client, Site and dates, click Load bookings, then Print sheet. The sheet is pre-filled with the day's bookings and has columns for time in, break, time out and signature, plus a roll call column: while the kiosk is not in use it is the list of who is on site, so take it to the assembly point in a fire alarm.

Key In the Sheet

Three ways to fill the grid.

Load bookings fills a row for each booked shift, ready for the times.
Add by badge adds a worker who was not booked. Blank row and Fill down speed up typing.
Or upload a CSV with the columns badge, date, in, out, break.

Then give a Reason and describe What happened (for example "kiosk offline 06:00 to 09:30, Wi-Fi fault"). Both are required.

Check and Save

Nothing is saved until every row is right.

Click Check rows. TempClock checks each badge number, the times (including shifts that cross midnight), overlaps with shifts already recorded, the maximum shift length and locked payroll periods, and shows any problem on its row. When the rows are clean, click Save entries.

After Saving

Pending until approved.

Saved entries are marked as paper backfill and stay pending until approved.
Each entry has its own audit record with your reason.
Approve them before you close the pay week, or they will not reach payroll.
When second-person approval is switched on, backfill needs a super admin.

Know who turned up, and pay every hour right.
