Frequently Asked Questions
How does restaurant payroll work?
Running payroll for a restaurant is tricky with tip calculations, overtime rules, and role-based minimum wages. Our software completely automates these complex wage computations so you can pay your staff accurately with just a few clicks.
Why should a business use a free time tracking sheet?
Time tracking for a team can be tricky without the right software. Most businesses use timesheets to track employee time. Timesheets are essentially spreadsheets, so it makes sense that many businesses use Excel timesheet templates. But with a free time tracker software like Homebase, you don’t need to worry about timesheets any more, or manually tracking hours worked.
Does your restaurant payroll handle tip pooling?
Yes, our app can calculate tip pooling across teams, shifts, or the entire restaurant and seamlessly incorporate pooled tips into payroll.
Can employees track their tips and hours?
Definitely! Employees get instant self-service access to the payroll app. Staff can conveniently view hours worked, tips earned, wage rates, and payout details at any time.
Why would you use an employees hours tracker?
Your employees will love Homebase time tracking on our free plan because they’ll be able to exactly how many hours they worked — and their expected earnings — right from the free mobile app.
Do you file payroll forms and taxes automatically?
Absolutely! After smoothly calculating gross wages each pay period our system automatically handles tax payments, filings, 1099s, W2s and everything payroll compliance related.
How can I track my time worked?
Start by subtracting the time you clocked out from the time you clocked in, as well as any breaks you took during the day. For example, if you clocked in at 8am and clocked out at 5pm, with a lunch break between 12pm and 1pm, you worked eight hours.
How do you complete a timesheet?
Luckily our automated takes the guesswork and difficulty out of completing a . Homebase automatically keeps a running list of missed shifts, missed clock-outs and missed breaks with our free scheduling software and helps you stay compliant without having to do any extra work. You can prepare your without a calculator and save every .
How does timesheet software affect productivity?
Most businesses spend about four hours a week on payroll, though it can be much more with larger teams. With Homebase time tracking and timesheets, you and your managers can cut the amount of time you spend on payroll by 75% — so you’ll save about three hours per week.
Why should I use automatic timesheets?
Automatic time tracking will save you hours every pay period on payroll. With an integrated and free time clock app, it’s easier than ever to track time worked for your employees. There’s also a desktop time clock available on Homebase paid plans that make it easy for your employees to save time on web time entry.
How often should you complete a timesheet?
A good rule of thumb is to complete your as soon as you can– but don’t worry! Homebase can help with that.
Should salaried workers track time?
Homebase works well for non-exempt employees too. Salaried employees — like restaurant management staff — often still have to fill out time cards.
What is a timesheet in payroll?
A timesheet is a way for employees to track their time, which makes running payroll easier, especially if you have hourly employees. A timesheet includes the time the employee clocked in and when they clocked out at the end of the day, as well as any breaks they took during their shift. A timesheet makes it easy to run payroll accurately.
