Hourly Payroll and Overtime report

Customizable Weekly or Daily Hours:

Define specific weekly or daily hour thresholds for calculation, such as counting hours from Monday to Friday less than 39 hours.
Create separate pay IDs for hours exceeding the defined threshold (e.g., over 39 hours, hours worked on Saturdays and Sundays).


  • This report is run by office.
  • The report applies rounding rules as per the settings configured in the Payroll Office for each office.
  • Users can choose to include a report header, which will incorporate column headers in the output for better clarity.
  • The report can be run weekly or monthly.
  • Users can also specify custom start and end dates for tailored reporting periods.
  • The generated report is available for download in CSV file format, ensuring compatibility with various systems.
  • Hours in the report are displayed in decimal format. For instance, 7 hours is represented as 7, 7.5 hours as 7.5, and 30 minutes as 0.5.
  • For the Sage version, hours are displayed with no decimal. This ensures that the report can be uploaded directly to Sage Micropay.
  • The report includes all employees with an approved timesheet within the specified date range.
  • Each employee is represented by a single line in the report, providing a clear overview.
  • Projects, bonuses, and benefits with associated payment IDs and effective dates are accurately reflected in the report.

  • Approved leave and public holidays are included if they have relevant payment IDs assigned.
