# Export time for payroll

Download approved hours, overtime, holiday and sick time as a spreadsheet to send to your payroll provider.

Use this when you run payroll. Only approved weeks are included.

1. Open **People → Timesheets**.
2. Select **Export for payroll**.
3. Choose **From** and **To** dates and the **Format**.
4. Select **Download**.

The file lists each person's time by day and kind, with overtime, holiday and sick time. It doesn't work out pay. Your payroll provider does that.

Each export is recorded in the audit log. You need the **timesheets.export** permission; Accounts has it by default.
