Validation bypass
WFM hardware clocks support an employee‑initiated validation bypass feature. When this feature is enabled for a validation, an employee can choose to bypass that validation at the clock and still submit the swipe. Each bypass decision is stored in the swipe’s extradata so that supervisors and administrators can audit the swipe later.
When validation bypass is not used, a swipe that violates a validation rule is rejected at the clock unless a supervisor overrides it using supervisor mode. Validation bypass offers an additional, employee‑initiated way to accept the swipe while still maintaining a complete audit trail.
These validations can be bypassed with this feature:

Validation bypass is a separate mechanism and does not replace supervisor overrides.
