ADD THE PUNCH, BUT DO A TPA ADJUSTMENT FORM. SIGNED BY THE EMPLOYEE.

Well, basically you can, but it doesn't mean you should. Depending on your access level you may be able to "change" employee punches that they have already logged. If you do, you will likely need their written permission. So if an employee didn't take a break and you want to take a half hour, unless you have a specific policy they will need to sign off on the reduction.  It is recommended to use progressive discipline  for improper punches instead of just taking the time away. Just because they are "stealing time" doesn't mean we should just take it back.

That being said, In blueforce you can change time and create a punch. Changing in or out times may depend on your access level. Creating a punch will require you to add the closing punch for it as well.
