What is Buddy Punching? Buddy Punching is the act of clocking another employee’s timecard on their behalf. Employees exploit a loophole within the clocking-in and attendance system and receive pay for hours that aren’t actually worked. Such behavior is often perceived as trivial due to the lack of surveillance kept when punching one’s timesheet. Companies that retain manual, outdated systems such as punch-cards and paper-based systems are especially prone to Buddy Punching.
