Time and Attendance

• Fixed a bug that was causing shifts that overlapped midnight to be split incorrectly.
• Made it possible to edit the punch-in time on the Time Card screen even if the shift is still going on (and incomplete). Before, you couldn't update the punch-in time without also specifying a punch-out time, which wasn't possible to predict for a shift that hadn't been completed yet.
