Your time. Your record.
Track work hours by pay period
Houro’s Pay Period view brings recorded hours and estimated gross pay together over a pay period. Keep entering actual shifts, then review your personal record for missing work and unexpected totals before payday.

What is a personal pay-period record?
A pay-period record groups the shifts you worked over the dates you want to review for payday. It helps answer two practical questions: how many hours have I recorded for this period, and what gross pay do those entries suggest? It is most useful when the total remains connected to the individual days behind it.
Houro supports pay-period settings and a Pay Period history view, alongside Week and Month views. Use your own work record to understand the period relevant to you. The app does not retrieve employer records or confirm the dates used by your payroll department; you need to check that your review covers the intended period.
Build the period one shift at a time
Clock work live or add entries manually as you complete shifts. Include actual start and finish times, breaks and any rate details relevant to the entry. A reliable period total comes from reliable individual records. Waiting until payday to reconstruct several weeks makes short shifts and schedule changes easier to miss.
For example, suppose you normally work four days a week but return for an extra evening block during the second week. Record that block as its own entry on the day it happened. When you review the period, the extra hours remain visible rather than being folded into a guessed weekly average.
Check dates, not just the total
Begin your review by checking the period dates. A calendar month, a displayed week and the period used for payday need not cover the same days. Use the appropriate view for the question you are answering rather than assuming that similar-looking totals refer to the same interval.
Next, compare the entries with the days you remember working or another record of your schedule. Check the beginning and end of the period carefully, where it is easy to overlook a shift. A running total tells you what is recorded so far; it cannot tell you that a shift you never entered is missing.
How do you spot a missing or duplicated shift?
Look for a date you worked that has no corresponding entry. For days with multiple blocks, check that each shift is recorded separately. Also look for duplicates: a manually added shift and a live-clocked shift could describe the same work if you entered both. Review the details before deleting or correcting anything.
If hours seem unexpected, work back from the period to the week and then the individual day. Check start and end times and break duration for each relevant entry. Houro supports manual edits, so you can correct your personal record when you have the right details. This review is your own process; Houro does not reconcile entries automatically with an employer system.
What does the expected-pay total mean?
Houro estimates gross pay using recorded hours and configured hourly rates, with supported shift multipliers where you apply them. The period total reflects those inputs. It is useful for understanding how your work is building up before payday, but it is not a prediction of your final net bank payment.
The existing Pay Period screenshot shows dates, 92 hours 45 minutes and a pay total for a recorded period. Those figures illustrate a view of accumulated work history. They do not imply that every user works those hours or earns that amount. When checking your own estimate, review rates, multipliers and any rounding preference as well as the time entries.
Keep a reviewed copy when the period ends
Once you have checked the entries, Lifetime Pro lets you export a CSV or PDF timesheet. A PDF is useful for saving, reading or printing; CSV gives you structured data to review elsewhere. Keeping a copy can help you return to the record you used when asking a question about your hours.
Your Houro history remains a personal work record. It does not replace employer payroll records, certify a timesheet or submit hours for approval. Final pay may include adjustments outside the app’s estimate, and Houro does not calculate taxes or deductions. The practical routine is to record work consistently, inspect the period before payday and export a copy when you need documentation of your own entries.
