Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Backdating Documents

My company uses an electronically-monitored clock to document hours worked. Employees have come in late and proper documentation was not completed at that time. Am I covered legally if I create those forms for past tardies and ask them to sign and date them for the time of occurrence? Thank you.
