Employee & profile

Attendance

Clock In is blocked.

Problem: Clock In is blocked.

Likely cause: Clock-in can be blocked outside the allowed shift window or on holidays and weekly offs when exceptional work is not enabled.

Fix — Admin: Review the saved work schedule and whether exceptional work is enabled for the day.

An attendance correction cannot be requested.

Problem: An attendance correction cannot be requested.

Likely cause: The day shows WINDOW EXPIRED, leave, a holiday, a weekly off, or Payroll Locked; these states prevent self-service correction.

Fix — Employee: For WINDOW EXPIRED or Payroll Locked, contact HR/Admin. Otherwise choose an actionable day in Attendance.

Fix — Admin: Review the day in Attendance Records and use the available correction workflow; locked periods do not allow clock changes.

Related guide: Request and review attendance corrections.

Leave

A Pending Approval request has no decision buttons.

Problem: A Pending Approval request has no decision buttons.

Likely cause: Leave decisions are offered to the assigned reporting manager or an organization/super admin; a permission alone does not replace the assignment check.

Fix — Employee: Contact your assigned reporting manager about the pending request.

Fix — Admin: The assigned reporting manager or an organization/super admin can decide it from Leave Requests.

Related guide: Approve or reject leave.

Timesheets

Submit Timesheet is unavailable.

Problem: Submit Timesheet is unavailable.

Likely cause: Submission requires completed attendance, positive working time, and fully allocated hours; Payroll Locked also prevents changes.

Fix — Admin: Review attendance or allocations in the authorized workflow; a Payroll Locked day cannot be edited.

Related guide: Save a draft and submit a timesheet.

Projects & tasks

Fix — Admin: Review and approve the employee item, then approve the payroll run. Recheck the payslip list after the run status changes.

Related guide: View or download a payslip.

Assets

An issued asset is missing from My Assets.

Problem: An issued asset is missing from My Assets.

Likely cause: My Assets lists equipment currently assigned to the signed-in employee.

Fix — Admin: In Assets, verify the asset is assigned to the correct employee and review its custody history.

Related guide: View your assigned assets.

Hiring, onboarding & offboarding

A job opening cannot be selected when adding a candidate.

Problem: A job opening cannot be selected when adding a candidate.

Likely cause: Only openings with Open status can be selected.
