Before you start
No owner account or payroll access is needed here. Real reviews require employer permission and the correct company, worker and date.
Allow about 15 minutes. Take breaks when needed.
Go to practice ↓Why it helps
A missing record does not prove absence. Approval needs evidence. A downloaded payroll file does not prove import or payment.
Worked example
Morgan’s fictional Cedar day starts at 08:00. The finish is missing. A prepared note records a 60 minute unpaid break.
The owner holds the day and checks with the worker. The supplied fictional confirmation gives a 17:00 finish.
08:00 to 17:00 is nine elapsed hours. Subtracting the supplied one hour break gives eight hours for this example. Real pay rules and adjustments require separate checks.
The owner compares the corrected record with the source confirmation before approving. In the real app, use Prepare payroll file, then Download payroll file. Check the downloaded file, then attach it to your usual email. In-app email is unavailable in this release. A download does not mean the file was emailed, imported into payroll or paid.
