   If you want to...	Do this...
   Enter the daily hours for each payroll category worked	For each payroll category, enter an hourly payroll category in the Payroll Category field and enter the daily hours worked in the date fields. Note that minutes should be entered as a decimal % of hours. e.g. 30 minutes is .5 hours. You can also: record time‑billing details (depending on your selection in the Preferences window) type a description in the Notes field assign a job number.
   Use the same details as the previous week	Click Copy From Previous. The employee’s timesheet details for the previous week appear.

   

   If you want to record details of the start and stop times for a payroll category, select the Display Start/Stop Time Column option. You can now record any information you like in the Start/Stop column. The Start/Stop column accepts letters and/or numbers so use whatever time format you like. For example, you could enter "Worked 9-5" or "Monday 9-12, 2-4" or "Sick leave Mon 1pm-5pm". The start and stop times you enter are for your records and won't affect the calculated Total Hours value.

5. If you want to enter another timesheet for the same employee, but for another week, repeat from step 3.

6. To record a timesheet for another employee, click New Timesheet.

7. When you've finished entering all timesheets, click OK.

   If you recorded time-billing activity details on this timesheet, an activity slip is created when you record the timesheet. You can review or modify the activity slip information in the Enter Activity Slip window or the Enter Timesheet window.

When editing a timesheet you may want to remove an incorrect line entry.

1. Click to highlight the line you want to delete.

2. Go to the Edit menu and choose Delete Line.
   

1. Open the timesheet you want to delete.

2. Right mouse-click on the timesheet window and choose Delete Timesheet. If the timesheet has already been used to process payroll you'll not be able to delete the timesheet.

   

You can display and print your entered timesheets by running a report.

2. Click the Payroll tab.

3. Click the Timesheets report.

4. Enter a date and display the report.

If your timesheet hours are not appearing when you process payroll this can be caused by the following.

• The pay period dates when processing payroll don't match the timesheet dates.
• Part or all of the timesheet has been included in a previous pay run. To check this open the current timesheet and check if any of the days are uneditable (greyed out).

Most likely this is due to hours being entered in the employee's standard pay. The quantity of hours shown on a pay take into account hours entered in the timesheet as well as hours entered in the standard pay.

If you only want to use timesheets to enter the hours an employee worked, zero out any hours from their standard pay.

1. Go to the Setup menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences window appears.

2. Click the System tab.

3. Deselect the option I Use Timesheets for [...] and My Week Starts on [...].
