Detailed answer

Timesheet exports use the reviewed rows shown in BetterDesks. Exports can include practical payroll-preparation fields such as employee, client, site, date, status, scheduled times, actual times, break minutes, payable minutes, and hours worked.

Teams can use those exports as payroll preparation inputs or share them with a payroll provider. Direct payroll-provider integrations are not available today.

Teams should review and filter timesheet records carefully before downloading payroll inputs.

Example

A payroll admin filters timesheets to approved records for a pay period and downloads a CSV. The payroll team uses that reviewed data as the starting point for its payroll software.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks gives payroll teams reviewed time data with supported calculations applied. It reduces manual spreadsheet cleanup, while payroll processing and final pay calculations remain outside BetterDesks.
