What's in the file

  • Regular hours: up to 40 hours in a week.

  • Overtime hours: past 40 hours in a week, the Quebec rule. Your payroll provider pays them at time and a half.

  • Hours on a statutory holiday: hours worked on one of Quebec's 8 statutory holidays. The holiday pay itself is worked out by your payroll provider.

  • Total hours.

Pick Every entry instead to get each line (day, job, start, end, hours) and choose its columns.

Good to know

  • Pay rates are never exported.

  • Approved hours only leaves out weeks you haven't approved.

  • Time off skips weekends and statutory holidays: a week of vacation that includes the Fête nationale counts 4 days.

  • French files use semicolons and decimal commas, so French Excel opens them right.

  • You can ask Ask Alori: "How much overtime did Marc do last week?"

If it doesn't work

  • "No hours in this period." Pick another period, or untick Approved hours only.

  • "Too many lines for one export: shorten the period." Export fewer weeks at a time.
