About Reviewing Time Sheets

Once a payroll period ends, human resources employees begin the task of preparing payroll for the employees. As they check on employee hours, they must make certain all of the hours punched and worked make sense. This section deals with reviewing and editing employee's time sheets, correcting any errors or problems along the way, all while ManageMore audits the entire process.
