Paying your employees > Timesheets
Timesheets are used to record all the hours worked by hourly employees or to record extra hours worked by employees that are paid based on a standard pay. 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. However, if you pay employees for additional hours worked, such as overtime, you can record these hours using timesheets.
When you record timesheet information for a pay period, you can then include the timesheet details when you process employee pays.
You can create a timesheet entry from the Activity Slip view of the Enter Activity Slip window by selecting the Include Hours on Timesheet option. This allows you to enter greater detail about the activity. See Creating activity slips.
