Fixing a wrong time entry
Updated Nov 12, 2026
Geowork keeps time records as a permanent log. Nobody can edit or delete a clock event after it's saved. A correction is added as a new record that points back to the original, with who made it and why. The original stays, so your payroll records have a full history.
If you're a crew member
You can't change your own times. Tell your supervisor what's wrong (for example "I forgot to clock out at 3:30"). The Messages tab is a good place to do it, so there's a written record.
If you're a supervisor or admin
- GPS flags: in Approve, click Review on a worker's timesheet to see their flagged entries, then open one. Choose Approve, Approve with note, Adjust hours, Reject or Escalate. Adjust hours lets you enter a corrected clock-in time; Geowork saves it as a new version with the reason and keeps the original. In the phone app, use Review GPS flag in Supervisor mode.
- Weekly timesheets: in Approve, click Approve, or Reject with a reason.
- A shift left open: if a worker is past the company's limit, open them in Workers and click Clock out this worker. Auto Clock-Out can also close long shifts for you.
Who can do this: foremen, project managers, superintendents and admins.
Anything else
If you need a change these tools don't cover, such as a missed clock out at a specific earlier time, email george@geowork.app with the worker, the date and the correct times. We'll add the correction as a new record; the original stays in the log.
