Actual Hours

Actual hours refer to the hours staff members have worked, recorded through Digital Clock In/Out time sheets. On the other hand, rostered hours refer to the hours that employees were scheduled to work. This distinction is critcial in human resources management, impacting payroll and scheduling.


With RosterElf's payroll integration feature, managers can easily compare the rostered times with the clock in/out times and approved times. This comparison allows them to select which hours to send to payroll and understand the variance between shifts across different periods. By doing this, managers can efficiently manage payroll and easily plan shifts. This can help save time and money by ensuring employees are paid correctly for their hours while providing valuable insights into their performance and productivity.
