Forgotten clock-outs fix themselves

A forgotten clock-out no longer blocks the next shift

It happens: a worker gets pulled straight from their last task to their truck and never taps out. Until now, that meant showing up the next morning to a kiosk that still thought they were on the clock — blocked from starting a new shift until someone sorted it out.

Not anymore. FabWise now closes an unfinished shift on its own, the moment it's clearly over, so it never stands in the way of the next one. The worker sees a quick, one-line notice — We closed your unfinished shift from yesterday — your supervisor will confirm the end time — and starts their new shift right away. No waiting on a manager, no digging through settings.

Behind the scenes, nothing is guessed. The real end time still needs a supervisor's confirmation, and that shift shows up flagged under Needs Review just like any other exception, waiting to be corrected. No invented hours ever make it to payroll — the worker's actual tap-out is always the source of truth; FabWise just makes sure a missed one doesn't stall the next morning.

No action needed. If a shift closes itself this way, you'll see it flagged under Needs Review the next time you check Shifts.
