Payroll processing starts with a reliable record of who worked, on which dates, for how long, and under which pay context. For covered nonexempt employees under the FLSA, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. A payroll-ready timesheet gives the payroll person daily detail first, then weekly totals, approvals, and exceptions.
The handoff should separate timekeeping from payroll calculation. Time tracking captures hours, breaks, project codes, notes, approvals, and corrections. Payroll then applies pay rates, deductions, taxes, benefits, state rules, and any policy or contract terms. This boundary matters because a clean timesheet can still need payroll review before it becomes a paycheck.
A useful payroll time record includes employee name, work date, start and stop times or total daily hours, breaks, weekly total hours, pay period, approval status, and correction history. For U.S. payroll, rate and billing fields normally use U.S. dollars. Project or department codes also help payroll, accounting, and managers reconcile labor cost by team or job.
For covered nonexempt employees, federal overtime uses a fixed 168-hour workweek. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in that workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes, even when the payroll period covers two weeks.
A common payroll mistake is treating scheduled hours as final hours. Payroll records need hours actually worked, plus a clear way to handle missed punches, late entries, breaks, and manager corrections. The FLSA does not require a specific time clock or software method, but covered employers still need complete and accurate records for nonexempt workers.
Weekend and holiday work need the same review discipline. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because work happened on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. The federal baseline turns on weekly overtime unless another law, policy, contract, or agreement applies. State wage and overtime rules can add requirements, so payroll should review the jurisdiction before finalizing pay.
A one-off time export works for a small payroll run when the records are complete, approved, and easy to reconcile. Payroll teams need a managed workflow when corrections, approvals, repeated pay periods, contractor batches, or audit questions become regular. A durable system should lock approved periods, preserve correction history, and show who approved each payroll handoff.
Everhour supports that workflow through team management controls such as approvals, locked time, admin corrections, tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, and team groups. For payroll-specific handoff, approved time entries can be exported from Everhour to Deel for pay-as-you-go contracts by selecting the Everhour user, date range, and matching contract, then previewing entries before export.

Payroll review needs daily hours, weekly totals, pay period dates, employee identity, approval status, and any corrections made after submission. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Payroll can show a pay-period total, but covered nonexempt employee records still need daily hours and weekly totals for FLSA recordkeeping. A single two-week total hides overtime problems because federal overtime is based on each fixed 168-hour workweek, and hours cannot be averaged across workweeks.
The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a particular timekeeping form or system. Paper sheets, time clocks, spreadsheets, and software can work when they capture complete and accurate records and preserve required payroll and time data.
Payroll time records should identify breaks separately from work time so the total reflects the employer's pay rules and legal obligations. In a clock-in workflow, daily working hours are commonly calculated from first clock-in to last clock-out minus recorded breaks, with correction history kept for review.
Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years. Basic time and earnings records, including daily start and stop time cards or sheets, must be kept for at least two years. State rules, contracts, or internal policies can require longer retention.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set approvals, lock time after review, correct entries for team members, define tracking limits, manage weekly capacity, and control roles or project assignments. Those controls help payroll work from reviewed records instead of changing entries after pay data has moved forward.
Everhour can send approved time entries to Deel for pay-as-you-go contracts. Admins choose the Everhour user, date range, and matching contract, preview the entries, and export them as separate tracked entries or grouped rows by task, project, or combined batch.
Use approved hours, locked periods, and manager corrections before payroll review. Everhour gives teams structured time controls that keep payroll handoffs cleaner and easier to audit.
