What should be the standard for sending timesheet to the accountant?
Columns, control steps and error reduction methods to be used when sending timesheet to the accountant at the end of the month.
If the timesheet sent to the accountant is in a different format every month, the control period will be longer. The standard format reduces the risk of error for both the business owner and the financial advisor.
Fix foundation columns
Employee name, date, check-in, check-out, break, paid hours, overtime and note fields should remain standard.
Close missing records without sending them
Empty entry or exit time returns as a question on the accounting side. Incomplete record filter should be used before submission.
Make branch-based distinctions
A single file can be used in multi-branch businesses; However, each line must contain branch information.
Summary
When the payroll submission standard is established, month-end communication becomes shorter and pre-payroll control becomes more reliable.
