Schedule and time
Review and approve timecards before payroll
Use weekly timecard review to catch missing punches, long shifts, and labor surprises before those problems become payroll issues.
Use Timecards before you open payroll, not after.
That small review step saves a lot of payroll cleanup and employee follow-up.
Quick facts
Start here
- Timecard review should happen every pay period.
- Missing punches are much easier to fix before payroll starts.
- Long shifts, missed clock-outs, and unscheduled work are the main items to catch.
Step 1: Review the weekly summary and problem rows
Open Timecards and look for entries that are incomplete, long, or inconsistent with the schedule.
Step 2: Approve only after the obvious issues are fixed
- Fix missing punches and unexpected hours first.
- Then approve the week so payroll starts from cleaner data.
