When should timecards be checked?

Timecards should be checked on the 10th and the 25th of each month. This schedule aligns with standard payroll practices, where the 10th typically corresponds to the mid-month payroll processing and the 25th aligns with the end-of-month payroll. By reviewing timecards on these specific dates, discrepancies can be identified and corrected before payroll is processed. This ensures that all hours worked are accurately accounted for and that any overtime or other pay considerations are properly calculated.

Checking timecards on these dates provides a consistent structure for handling payroll-related tasks and allows for timely communication with employees in case any issues are discovered. Regular checks prevent errors that could lead to payroll delays or employee dissatisfaction due to inaccurate pay.
