Different ways to resolve undertime

In the image above you will notice that there are three different options available to resolve the employee’s undertime (UT) status:

  • Submit as is and submit UT  – the employee is approved for UT
  • Revert to as scheduled – the employee is not approved for UT and you want to revert their clock out time to the scheduled clock out time. Doing this will override any late clock ins and early clock outs
  • Only submit HH:MM hours of UT –  if you want to override the employee’s UT hours
  • For Account owners, you can double check the employee’s undertime record by going to the “Review” under the employee profile. Once you click on the date, look for rollcall item “payroll_ut” if they have this on the rollcall day, they are deducted undertime/late by how minutes/hours that was resolved.

Once you have found an appropriate option:

  1. Select the option you wish to use
  2. Write a reason in the Update Reason box
  3. Click the Submit at Resolved button

Important: You are required to state a reason for the resolution you chose.
