Absence mail forgot to punch in at work

The classic "I forgot to punch in" conundrum!

Here's a sample absence email you could use as a template:

Subject: Absence Notification - [Your Name]

Dear [Manager's Name],

I am writing to inform you that I will be absent from work today due to [briefly mention the reason, e.g., "unforeseen personal circumstances" or "family emergency"]. Unfortunately, I forgot to punch in at the beginning of my shift and will not be able to come into the office today.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will make sure to catch up on any missed work as soon as possible. If there are any pressing tasks that need my attention, please let me know and I will do my best to complete them remotely.

Thank you for your understanding and please feel free to reach out to me if you need anything.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Remember to customize the email to fit your specific situation and work environment. It's also a good idea to include the following details:

Hope this helps!
