1. Resolve open shifts
A check-in without checkout is incomplete evidence. Investigate the actual finish time and record the basis for a correction. Attendify does not invent an end time; a day with a blocking exception is excluded from its policy export. Payroll must still ensure genuine work is accounted for.
2. Check the worker identifier
An employee name alone is not a safe receiver key. Confirm the payroll ID and leading zeros. A complete timesheet can be excluded from a named ERP layout if the worker has no payroll ID.
3. Confirm site and cost allocation
A site assignment or GPS reading does not automatically identify the correct contract cost code. Map site values to receiver objects and review mid-day changes. Attendify’s named layouts are source files, not a guarantee of valid accounting allocation.
4. Inspect overnight dates
A scheduled night shift may belong to the date it started. Check that your attendance and payroll processes interpret that date consistently. Also review configured breaks and overtime; the attendance calculation is not a complete wage-rule engine.
5. Distinguish duplicates
A retry of the same captured event and a second payroll import are different problems. Attendify deduplicates by client event identity on attendance ingestion. Your receiving integration still needs a deliberate replacement/replay policy for files and corrected periods.
6. Explain every correction
Retain the original event, proposed change, reason and decision. If approval is enabled, verify the requested correction was actually applied. Do not assume the queue enforces an independent second person or that every timesheet is payroll-approved.
7. Reconcile the whole population
Illustrative example: three workers each appear to have an eight-hour day. One has a missing checkout and another lacks a payroll ID. A named-format export may include only the one complete, mapped worker. Eight exported hours do not mean the other workers are owed nothing.
Scroll the table sideways to read all columns.
| Reconciliation item | Action |
|---|---|
| Exported rows and hours | Match the reviewed eligible population |
| Blocking attendance | Investigate and resolve or handle explicitly |
| Missing payroll IDs | Correct mapping before named-format handoff |
| Receiver rejection | Record the cause and rerun safely |
| Late correction | Reconcile against the already imported period |
These checks are a process guide, not a measured claim about error-detection percentages or annual savings. Establish your own baseline and record what the checks find.
Use the pre-payroll checklist, payroll exports and the handoff guide to define the responsibility at each step.
