SkillAbout
Gets payroll ready to run without anyone getting shorted: pulls timesheets from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, or an uploaded spreadsheet, totals regular, overtime, and PTO hours by person, flags every anomaly it finds — missed punches, overtime spikes, rate changes, mid-period hires and terminations, hours off the schedule — and stages the run for the owner to approve line by line before a dollar moves. Anomalies are always raised, never quietly corrected. Once the owner runs it, the journal posts to the ledger or goes to the bookkeeper. Reach for this whenever payroll comes up at all — "run payroll," "payroll is due," "check the timecards," "did everyone clock out," "how many hours did the crew put in," "why is payroll so high this week," "I need to pay the guys Friday" — and use it after cash-flow-snapshot when the owner is worried about whether payroll clears.
