Can BetterDesks show scheduled hours vs actual worked hours?

Yes. BetterDesks stores scheduled shift times and actual attendance times on timesheets, along with raw, rounded, and payable minutes.

Detailed answer

When attendance matches a scheduled shift, the timesheet keeps both sets of information: scheduled start/end and actual clock-in/clock-out. If no exact valid shift match is found within the matching window, BetterDesks treats the work as unscheduled according to the attendance settings.

This distinction helps reviewers understand whether the employee worked as planned, started late, left early, missed a clock-out, or worked outside the expected schedule.

BetterDesks calculates raw worked minutes from actual times, then applies supported rounding and break rules to produce payable minutes and hours worked.

Example

A worker is scheduled for an eight-hour shift but clocks in ten minutes late and clocks out five minutes early. The timesheet keeps the scheduled and actual values side by side so the reviewer can approve, reject, or correct the record.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks keeps schedule and attendance data connected, which gives managers better context before payroll preparation.

For Canadian teams working across several sites, this comparison can help managers spot attendance exceptions before records move to payroll review. Explore workforce time clock software.
