PunchGuard™

Pay-period level violation detection, every pay period

Upload a timeclock export. Get employee-level violations, premium exposure calculations, and derivative penalty estimates — before payroll runs, before a PAGA notice lands, or before opposing counsel runs the same analysis on your records.

Catching meal break violations during quarterly reviews isn't compliance — it's evidence collection.

Violation types

What PunchGuard detects in your timeclock data.

No meal period

Shifts over 5 hours with no recorded meal punch — the most common violation pattern in audited datasets.

Short meal period

Meal punches under 30 minutes in duration — frequently missed in manual review of large record sets.

Late meal period

Meal period not started before the 5-hour mark — the 4:59 rule applied at the transaction level across every employee and shift.

Missing punches

Incomplete punch records identified and flagged per Donohue v. AMN Services standards.
