Why handovers drift from records
Verbal handovers are fast, but they leave no record. When a shift swap happens on the floor and never reaches the schedule, attendance data stops reflecting reality — and that gap shows up later in payroll.
One source for the schedule
The fix isn't more paperwork, it's a single place the schedule lives that both the outgoing and incoming shift can see and update. Swaps get logged where they happen, not remembered later.
Make check-in the trigger
Attendance should be captured at the moment someone actually starts, not reconstructed afterward. GPS, QR, PIN or kiosk check-in each work for a different environment — the method matters less than making it happen in real time.
Quick checklist
- Keep the schedule in one shared place
- Log swaps immediately, not after the fact
- Capture attendance at the moment of check-in
- Review timeliness trends monthly, not just totals
