An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.

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 Companies that retain manual, outdated systems such as punch-cards and paper-based systems are especially prone to Buddy Punching.
