## Check the result

Check the outcome per job and review the same period in the payroll report. The export should match approved hours.

## What to distinguish

Breaks are excluded from recorded working time. Payroll hours and invoice quantities may differ; payroll approval is not invoice approval.

## Takeaway

Check the outcome per job and review the same period in the payroll report. The export should match approved hours.
