Overview
A payroll report allows you to manage and present information related to payroll and time utilization. Your accounting team can accurately track and monitor employee hours to ensure everyone is paid correctly.
With payroll reports, you can calculate:
- Regular hours,
- Overtime hours,
- Absence (paid/unpaid) hours for vacations and holidays.
This accuracy helps in understanding where company resources are allocated and identifying areas for improvement. Additionally, payroll reports ensure that you know exactly how much to pay your team members and prevent any discrepancies. You can easily export the payroll report to a .csv format for uploading to your accounting software. The report also allows you to view individual team member hours in a clear, user-friendly interface.
Here's how a sample report looks like:
