Payroll Summary

The Payroll Summary adds up the period for every employee.

Sergio Romero42h 30mAUD 1,575.00

Each row shows the hours, overtime, and pay for one employee

Straight time, overtime premium, time off, and gross pay sit in the same row, so one screen shows the finished period for everyone. Pay appears once an employee has a rate on file, so a blank figure means a missing rate rather than a wrong number.

Open a row to see the pay lines behind the total

Every total expands into the lines that made it, including the rate used and each overtime tier. Employees paid more than one rate show every rate that applied.

Paid time off is counted with worked hours

Time off carries its own pay category beside regular and overtime time, so the period reaches payroll complete instead of in two pieces.

Payroll Readiness

Find the records that would make payroll wrong while you can still fix them.

It catches the things that turn into a corrected paycheck later, like an employee still clocked in from Tuesday or someone whose pay rate was never set. The ones that would change what a person is paid come first. Each item names the employee and the day and opens the record, so a fix takes a minute.

Preview the file before you download it

The preview shows the file name, how many employees and lines it holds, and anything you should check before importing, so you find out here rather than inside your payroll account.

Unmapped hours are flagged instead of dropped

Every Clockspot pay category maps to the code your provider expects. If a category has no code yet, the export warns you and names it rather than quietly leaving those hours out.

Common questions

What to know before you export employee time to payroll.

  • Review the source records
  • Choose report or provider file
  • Keep payroll processing separate
Does Clockspot run payroll?

No. Clockspot tracks employee time, helps managers review it, and creates payroll-ready reports and import files. Your payroll provider still calculates taxes, moves money, and submits payroll.

Why do these reports ask for whole workweeks?

Payroll Summary and Payroll Readiness use whole workweeks so configured weekly overtime rules are calculated across a complete week. Your pay period can still start and end wherever you like.

Can I export the report for an accountant or review packet?

Yes. Payroll Summary can be exported as CSV, Excel, or PDF. Those report exports are separate from the payroll-provider import file.

Which payroll import files can Clockspot create?

Create a flexible CSV profile with your pay codes and employee identifiers. Provider-specific formats include U.S. payroll systems. Use your provider template or setup instructions as the final import check.

What if I use QuickBooks Online?

The direct QuickBooks Online connection currently supports U.S. companies. For a company elsewhere, download a report or flexible CSV and check the format with your payroll provider.
