Timesheets are used to record hours worked by hourly employees and form the basis of their pays. If you pay employees for time-billing activities, you can also enter activity details on timesheets and use these details to create activity slips.
The timesheet feature is optional. If your hourly employees work a fixed number of hours per pay and you don’t pay employees for time-billing activities, there’s no need for you to use this feature. If you do want to use it, you need to set a preference. See ‘To set up timesheets’ below.
You can pay employees from timesheets only or in addition to recurring pay details. When you record timesheet information for a pay period, you include the timesheet details in employee pays. For more information, see Processing your payroll.
You can also create a timesheet entry from the Activity Slip view of the Enter Activity Slip window by selecting the Include Hours on Timesheet option.
