Automated TimeClock Plus Missed Punch Alerts
Every day, WebRun opens TimeClock Plus, checks yesterday's punches for missed clock-ins and clock-outs, saves an exceptions report to Google Drive, and texts the supervisor via Twilio so each one gets corrected before it reaches payroll.
How do I catch missed punches in TimeClock Plus before payroll?
WebRun checks TimeClock Plus every day for missed clock-ins and clock-outs from the day before. It saves a dated exceptions report to Google Drive and texts the supervisor via Twilio with their department's missed punches, so timekeeping gets corrected the same day instead of causing a payroll error later.
- Missed punches get corrected the same day, not at payroll
- Supervisors get a texted list for their own department
- A dated audit trail builds up in Google Drive
Built for Payroll administrators · shift supervisors · manufacturing and retail employers · HR timekeeping teams

Questions, answered
Does it correct the missed punch?
No. WebRun only reports it. Correcting a clock-in or clock-out stays a decision your supervisor makes in TimeClock Plus.
Does it contact the employee directly?
No, the text goes to the supervisor only. WebRun never messages the employee about a missed punch.
What if the punch is corrected the same day?
It reads the live record in TimeClock Plus the next morning, so a corrected punch doesn't reappear in the following report.
