Timesheets are used to track employee hours for payroll and time billing purposes. Whether or not you use timesheets and how you use them is determined by the choice you make for the I Use Timesheets... preference in the System view of the Preferences window.

• If you do not mark the preference to use timesheets, you cannot open the Enter Timesheets window.

• If you mark the preference and choose to use timesheets for payroll only, the hours you enter will be used to calculate your employees' payroll.
  
  Hourly employees are paid exclusively from timesheets.
  
  Salaried employees are always paid their recurring pay amounts. If you make any entries to their timesheets, pay for their timesheet hours is added to their recurring pay amounts.

• If you mark the preference and choose to use timesheet for payroll and time billing:

• The hours you enter will be used to calculate your employees' payroll (as described above).
• The hours you enter in an activity slip will appear in the timesheet (if you marked that preference in the activity slip) and used for payroll.
• If you select an activity when you make a timesheet entry, an activity slip is created.
