The EnterYourHours.com System is more than a billing system. Your entire organization can enter their hours into your system. Logically, they will want to be paid for those hours, and the EnterYourHours.com system tracks it all for you.

As the administrator, you will be able to control when and how your workers are paid. Some companies pay their workers on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Other companies don’t follow a set pattern and pay there workers after they invoice their clients.

To keep track of what was paid to whom, the EnterYourHours.com System uses the concept of a Payroll Batch. A Payroll Batch is simply a collection of the hours you wish to pay at any given time. The EnterYourHours.com System groups the hours together by worker, and creates a separate, printable report for each. You are notforced you to pay everything at once, so you can filter and pay only the work entered by a certain worker, or pay only a certain set of workers, or for hours that were entered within a certain range of dates. There are many other ways to precisely determine what you want to pay, all of which are detailed in the Creating a New Payroll Batch section.

If you are hiring for the first, and you haven’t tracked and paid workers' hours before, you might be wondering why the EnterYourHours.com System can’t just always pay for every item entered. The short answer is that it can. If you do not apply any filters than that is exactly what will happen. Your latest Payroll Batch will include everything.

However, if you have a lot of experience running a business that employs multiple workers who bill hours, you can probably immediately see why there are many reasons to have this sort of control. Here is just a short list of a few:

Sample Scenario #1: You don't want to pay your worker until the project is finished, and you bill your client.

Sample Scenario #2: You billed a client, but you don't want to pay your worker, until you receive the payments.

Sample Scenario #3: You don't want to pay your worker until you reach a certain threshold in dollars.
