How are the Hours Worked calculated on the timecards and why are they different than report totals? Follow
The Hours Worked weekly totals, displayed at the bottom of a timecard, represent the gross total hours for that entire workweek. As such, deductions for breaks, lunch, etc. are not included in these totals and they include days in the workweek that may be from the previous pay period.
Many organizations track the total hours an employee is on-site, between the first in and last out punches. However, since these totals do not include any deduction calculations, they should NOT be used for payroll purposes. Instead, use the Pay Period Report.
The example image below is from an account with a semi-monthly pay period and a workweek beginning on Mondays.
