**In brief:** Prepare month-end reports with Minutezilla: review time entries, leave and overtime, then export PDF and CSV reports for the next review.

## Agree the reporting period

Agree when entries for the completed month must be reviewed, then use the same date range for reporting.

## Distinguish time and HR reports

Time reports explain recorded work. HR reports show attendance, leave and overtime for personnel review.

## Check exports before handoff

Export time reports as PDF and HR reports as CSV. Check required columns before sharing files.

## Example: Month-end review for a twelve-person team

The team lead reviews missing time entries, HR checks approved leave against attendance, and payroll receives the reviewed exports. Assign responsibilities so everyone works from the same records.

### 1. Complete entries before the cutoff

Ask employees to review missing tasks and project assignments. Make corrections before preparing the monthly report.

### 2. Review attendance and leave

Admins and managers review the period in HR reports. Resolve incomplete attendance and pending leave requests using your internal rules.

### 3. Review overtime in context

Review daily and weekly overtime and configured thresholds. A calculated overtime entry does not determine whether it should be paid or taken as time off.

### 4. Export and retain reports

Export reviewed time reports as PDF and HR reports as CSV. Check the format with the recipient. CSV export does not provide a direct integration with every payroll system; define access and retention internally.
