Semi-monthly payroll does not always align with whole workweeks. This template focuses on capturing daily hours across half a calendar month.
Who it's for: Finance teams paying twice per month on calendar dates, and managers who approve mid-month and month-end batches.
How to fill it: Set the exact date range in the pay period field. Use each row for a calendar day in that half-month. Enter hours or clock times; notes column fits project codes.
Overtime: Overtime still typically follows federal workweek rules even on semi-monthly payroll. Split hours with the overtime calculator when you need a quick check. Overtime calculator, California OT, and the timesheet calculator can split regular and OT from clock times.
