A clearer process, step by step.
Before you download
What does the variance mean?
It is worked hours minus scheduled hours. Review the context, including approved leave and schedule changes, before taking any action.
Can I track more than one month?
Yes. Save a separate copy or duplicate the log tab, and clearly label the reporting period.
Do I need a PayHr account?
No. Every resource is available to download directly. Email updates are optional and separate from your download.
Will PayHr receive the information I enter?
No. These are files you download and complete yourself. PayHr does not receive the contents of your completed template. Keep employee and payroll records in your own secure storage.
