Opening Shift Attendance Check Before Customers Arrive

The first ten minutes of a shift are the best time to catch attendance errors. Confirm who is scheduled, compare the actual clock-in time, and note any late arrival or location exception before the store gets busy.

When a correction is needed, record the reason and the person who approved it instead of overwriting the original entry. This keeps payroll review focused on real exceptions and gives the next supervisor a clear handoff.

A practical reference is the Insacheck attendance record guide.
