The payroll report is a summary of actual wages for each employee that lists total earnings for the selected date range. Actual wages are determined by time clock activity, so it is not possible to run a payroll report based on scheduled hours, unless you manually enter your employees' timesheets. The info can also be exported so you can upload it to your payroll processing software or service.

Timesheets (located under the Time clock tab) list every scheduled shift for the selected range and show any time clock activity that has been registered through your employees use of Sling's time clock function. It is possible to filter by location, position, employee, or status - or any combination of the four.

You are able to edit this information (add, remove, or edit start, end, and break times) and the changes will reflect in your payroll reports.
