From time to time a staff member will forget to sign in, sign out, or they may have even signed into a wrong location. In any case, at some point during the usage of Swept it will be required to edit or delete a shift. You are able to mark a shift as invalid so it does not appear in your time entry specific reports like the Payroll Report and Schedule Variance Report. The invalid entries will appear in your Time Entry Report and Mood Report.

Most of the time this issue will be showcased to you when running payroll. Shifts will appear far too long and you'll be forced to edit prior to confirming and exporting. Occasionally, staff may report the sign in/out error and you'll be able to fix this right away.

There are a few ways to edit or delete a cleaning record but note that all are restricted to the Web App.

Protip: check and edit the time entry report every day or every other day to make payroll quicker and easier by executing changes while they're top of mind.
