Questions

What dates does the semi-monthly timesheet cover?

In HoursPad, the first half is the 1st to the 15th and the second half is the 16th to the last day of the month. For January 2027 that is 11 weekdays in the first half and 10 in the second.

Why can the two halves have different totals?

The halves have different numbers of days. With the same daily hours, the example gives 88 h (88.00 hours) for January 1 to 15 and 80 h (80.00 hours) for January 16 to 31.

Is semi-monthly the same as biweekly?

In HoursPad they are different cards. A biweekly card is always 14 days. A semi-monthly card follows the calendar month, so its length changes. Use the one your employer's pay calendar names.

Can I print it with signature lines?

Yes. Press Print for a timesheet with lines for employee and supervisor signatures, or Download for a spreadsheet.
