Payroll Report

The Payroll Report shows staff hours organized by semi-monthly pay periods. Use it to review hours before processing payroll, and to print or export for your records.


Accessing the Report

Two ways to get there:

  • Click Payroll in the sidebar (under Administration)

  • Click the Payroll Report button on the Staff page


Pay Periods

Payroll is organized into semi-monthly pay periods:

  • 1st – 15th of each month

  • 16th – end of month (28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st depending on the month)


Reading the Report

The report shows a grid with:

  • Rows = Staff members

  • Columns = Each day of the pay period, organized by week (Mon–Sun)

  • Cells = Hours worked that day (dashes for zero-hour days)

  • Total column = Sum of hours for the entire pay period

  • Daily Total row = Bottom row showing total hours across all staff for each day

  • Grand Total = Bottom-right cell with the total of all staff hours for the period

Weekend columns (Sat/Sun) have a subtle shading to distinguish them from weekdays.


  • Previous/Next arrows — Move one pay period forward or backward

  • Historical dropdown — Jump to any past pay period directly


Printing

Click the Print button. The report opens in a print-friendly layout:

  • Landscape orientation

  • Clean grid with no sidebar or navigation

  • Designed to fit on one page


Exporting to Excel

Click Export Excel to download a .xlsx file. This gives you the same grid in spreadsheet format, which you can:

  • Save for your records

  • Send to your accountant or payroll service

  • Use for additional calculations


Tips

  • Review before payroll — Check the report at the end of each pay period to catch any missing hours or anomalies before processing payroll.

  • Compare to Punch Log — If a staff member's hours look wrong, check their punches in the Punch Log for that date range.
