Can the weekly timesheet be used to run payroll? The time was entered on the timesheet but when I run payroll the employee is showing zero hours.

Hey dhoneycutt, it's awesome to have you here in the Community!

You can definitely use the weekly timesheet for payroll. If you're seeing zero hours when running payroll, it's likely because the Billable (/hr) box wasn't checked. Ensure to tick the checkbox and enter the rate for billing the activity.

I've included some screenshots for further reference.

I did mark it as billable. The time sheet does not populate the hours to be paid when I run payroll. What is the last screen shot? I don't see it in weekly time or payroll.

Thanks for getting back to us, dhoneycutt.

The last screenshot shows the payroll process for your employees.

Since you've already checked the Billable (/hr) checkbox, what you can do is pick the correct pay item when creating the weekly timesheet. Also, ensure to double-check the dates and pay period for accuracy.
