Payroll Procedures

Nov/05/2015
The Daily Payroll Attendance Sheet (“sign-in sheet”) is one of the most important documents in the payroll process, and its use is authorized for payroll purposes only.  Its accuracy is critical, and in most cases, is the only tool available to the administrator when certifying that the payroll information is correct.  For the afore-mentioned reasons, the sign-in sheets must be monitored on a daily basis.  For a list of specific required procedures for each employee type be sure to refer to Weekly Briefing #18352.
