Employee Didn't Submit a Timesheet. Can You Delay Payroll?

Generally, no.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), wages are due on the regular payday for the pay period cove

red. A missing timesheet doesn't eliminate the employer's responsibility to track hours worked and pay employees correctly.

If hours are missing, use available records to determine the hours worked, address any discrepancies, and make corrections as needed.

Remember: Employees may report their hours, but the responsibility for accurate timekeeping and payroll rests with the employer.

Good bookkeeping means more than recording transactions. It means helping your business maintain accurate, reliable financial records.
