Is there a way to remove a lunch punch after an employee has already clocked in for lunch?

I’ve had a few instances where employees accidentally clocked into lunch instead of clocking out for lunch. I’d like to know if there is a way to correct or remove the incorrect lunch punch on the display so they dont hit it again

To correct a mistaken punch, log in to QuickBooks Time on the web. From there, you can edit the break segment or lunch entry, or delete the mispunch entirely.
 

Here’s how:
 

  1. Go to Time Entries and select Timesheets.
  2. Select a date range, find the specific team member, and locate the break segment or split-shift row created by the lunch punch.
  3. Click Edit Time to adjust the duration of the lunch, if needed.
  4. To delete the mispunch, select Delete Time. Then, choose whether you want to Delete only or Delete & Merge.

 

You can also check the Feature Add-ons, which offer an option to automatically clock your employees back in once their lunch or break is over.
