Time and Attendance Exception Agent

Missing punches and unapproved overtime found at payroll cut-off cause late nights and wrong paychecks. Two days before each cut-off, this agent reviews time data against schedules. It finds missing punches, shifts over policy length, overtime without approval, and hours logged on days off or leave. It sends each manager a list of their team's exceptions and what is needed. Every few hours it checks whether managers fixed or approved the items and sends reminders to those who have not. At cut-off it lists what is still open with a suggested handling for each. The administrator decides how to handle open items. Edge case: an employee clocked in at two sites the same day, so the agent checks for a transfer before flagging a duplicate.
