Closing a pay period

Open a period, review the punches, then close it. After that nothing inside those dates can be edited, added or clocked — including from the shared tablet, which cannot slip past it either.

If somebody is still clocked in, you are told rather than silently locking an open punch.

You can reopen a period, and you have to say why. The reason is kept with it, because reopening changes a number somebody has already been paid on.
