Employee & profile

Attendance
Clock In is blocked.

An attendance correction cannot be requested.
Problem: An attendance correction cannot be requested.

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 — 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.

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.

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 — Employee: Ask IT or HR to check the asset assignment.
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.

Security & privacy
