Inserting Hours of Vacation, Sick, or Holiday Fixing Missing Punches (Editing time cards)

How to Lock History Hours

Locking history hours prevents any further edits to time entries that have already been reviewed and submitted—typically after payroll has been completed. This helps ensure payroll accuracy and maintains a clean audit trail.

🚨 Note:

Once hours are locked, they cannot be edited unless they are manually unlocked by an administrator.
