This table compares what was planned with what was actually done, by person and by day. It's a basis for discussing pay — not a time clock: no one clocks in here.

The arrows move a week at a time, the button brings you back to the current week. Payroll is usually prepared on a closed week, not the one still running.

Actual comes from appointments genuinely kept; planned comes from the hours you entered in the schedule. An appointment never entered in the calendar is therefore missing from the actual figure.

In each cell, the first number is the actual time, the second the planned time. An actual figure well below planned isn't necessarily an absence: it's usually a quiet spell.

The share of planned time actually filled with clients. Useful for adjusting opening hours; it isn't a grade given to an employee.

The file for payroll

The export matches the week shown, ready to send to your accountant.

Frequently asked questions

Actual is well below planned, has an employee missed hours?

Not necessarily: it's usually a quiet spell, not an absence.

Does an appointment I forgot to enter in the calendar count?

No, it's missing from the actual time since that figure comes from appointments genuinely kept in the calendar.

Can I carry this table straight onto a payslip?

No, check it first: it informs payroll, it doesn't replace the legal working-time record the salon must keep.

How do I send these figures to my accountant?

Use the export file: it matches the week shown.
