    Hi Peter_Project,

     

    Thank you for your post and Welcome to the Community Forum, I hope you find this to be a great place for useful information and assistance!

     

    Most likely, this is due to hours being entered in the employee's standard pay.

     

    The number of hours shown on a pay take into account hours entered in the timesheet as well as hours entered in the standard pay. If you only want to use timesheets to enter the hours an employee worked, zero out any hours from the standard pay in their employee card. See below:

     

    Example standard pay with zero hours highlighted

     

    Once you've zeroed out the employee's standard pay, you should now be able to process a pay run without and double on hours/amounts. 

     

    Please do reach out if you require further assistance with this - happy to help!
