why would it be that my approved hours differ from the hours to be exported?

Let's find out why your approved hours are different from the hours to be exported, CarolFel.

Are you getting any error when trying to export the hours?

Before you export payroll hours, you need to add the type of pay for each employee so you'll not get an error. You'll want to use the Payroll Item Mapping Tool to assign payroll items and then re-export the time. This also lets you sync payroll items.

To assign payroll items in TSheets.

1. Select QuickBooks, then select Preferences.
2. Select Payroll Item Mapping Tool.
3. Select the pay type for each employee.
4. Close the window when you’re finished.

If you need to enter a different type of pay, but you don’t see it in TSheets, go to QuickBooks Online and add it there first.

Also, to add a pay type in QuickBooks Online.

1. From QuickBooks Online, select Workers or Payroll menu.
2. Select the employee.
3. Select + Add additional pay types (like overtime, sick, and vacation pay).
4. Select the additional pay types you need and add the required info.
5. Select Done.

After adding the additional pay types, go to TSheets and rerun the Payroll Item Mapping Tool.
