[Canada] Complete an employee timesheet

Employees cannot fill out their own timesheet.

Timesheets track your employees' standard worked hours, overtime, double time, vacation time, and sick time for your payroll period.

You must complete each hourly employee's timesheet before approving a payroll period. You do not need to enter salaried employees’ standard hours, but you must enter additional worked hours, vacation, and sick time.

Entering standard hours for salaried employees will add additional pay to their regular salary.

To complete an employee’s timesheet:

1. On the left-side menu, click Payroll > Timesheets.
2. Select the Hourly employees or Salaried employees tab.
3. In the Employees menu, click the dropdown arrow beside your employee’s name.
4. In the appropriate row, enter the hours your employee used each day. Or, in the Total column, enter a lump sum for the total hours used for that row in that week. Overtime or Double Time rows, enter overtime hours.
5. For additional employees, repeat steps 2-4.
6. Click Save.

If you’re unsure if an employee requires Overtime or Double Time, see [Canada] Overtime guidelines.
