Two everyday situations quietly corrupt attendance data: an employee who forgets to check out, and a shift that starts one evening and ends after midnight.
Forgotten check-outs If someone forgets to check out, the shift stays "open" forever. A good system should auto-flag it as a missed check-out — on the employee's next check-in, and again via a nightly sweep for people who don't return — and warn the employee so they tell HR.
- ✓Auto-flag open shifts older than ~18 hours (so a genuine night shift in progress isn't touched).
- ✓Show HR an "Open / missed" list to correct with the real check-out time.
- ✓Never silently count a wrong number of hours.
Night shifts across midnight When a shift starts at 9 PM and ends at 6 AM, the check-out happens on a different calendar day. Weak systems then show "Check In" at 6 AM instead of "Check Out". The fix is to carry the open shift into the next day so the app and the web agree on one state.
Breaks and multiple sessions Staff often punch out for a break and back in. Accurate systems keep a per-punch timeline (in → out → in → out) and sum the worked segments, rather than overwriting the first punch.
KazeHR auto-flags missed check-outs, carries overnight shifts correctly, keeps a full punch timeline, and lets HR set the real time in one click.
