A biometric attendance correction form lets an employee request a fix when the fingerprint or face device failed to record a punch, recorded the wrong time or was out of order. The reporting manager verifies the claim and HR updates the attendance system.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do if I forgot to punch in biometric?+

Fill a biometric attendance correction form with the date and actual time, attach any proof such as a login record, and get your manager to approve it. HR then updates the record.

How many missed punch corrections are allowed?+

This depends on company policy; many firms set a monthly limit. Frequent requests are usually discussed with the employee rather than automatically penalised.

Can HR edit biometric attendance?+

Yes, through the system's authorised admin, but only against an approved request so there is an audit trail.
