Simplify payroll with smart employee timesheets

Typically, an employee timesheet is an official physical or digital record that tracks the hours a worker spends on specific tasks, projects, and duties during a defined period. In most cases, it serves as the basis for calculating accurate pay for both employees and independent contractors.

Employers often use electronic timesheets that allow employees to clock in when their workday begins and clock out when it ends. With digital timesheets, workers typically log into a platform with a secure username and password and click a button to record their start time. This creates a timestamp of the exact time their workday starts, giving employers accurate records to ensure paychecks are calculated correctly.

Yes! One of the perks of using OnPay’s time-tracking tools is that employees can review their hours worked, confirm they are accurate, and sign off on the hours right in the platform.

Great question! Syncing timesheets and payroll makes good business sense because it records all of your employee hours — including overtime — so there’s never any doubt about paychecks being paid accurately and on time.

In most cases, salaried employees are not required to clock in because they receive a set salary regardless of the hours worked. However, some employers may ask salaried staff to track their time to improve accountability, better understand how workloads are being handled, and gather data for productivity analysis.
