# Quickstart: Client Companies

> For company owners and managers — review your team's hours, approve timesheets, and submit payroll to your bookkeeper in a few steps.

This quickstart is for **owners and managers** at a client company. Your bookkeeper has already
created your company and added your employees; your job each pay period is to make sure the hours
are right and send them on.

**Before you start:** make sure you can sign in at **`/login`** with the email your bookkeeper
invited.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in to your company dashboard">
    Go to `https://paypunch.io/login` and enter your email and password. PayPunch opens your
    company dashboard. See [Logging in](/get-started/logging-in).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check who's on the clock">
    From the [dashboard](/client/dashboard), see current activity and the pay period in progress —
    who's clocked in, totals so far, and anything that needs attention.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review timesheets">
    Open [Timesheets](/client/timesheets) to see each employee's entries for the period. Look for
    missing punches, long shifts, or unusual overtime. See [Reviewing time](/client/reviewing-time).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fix or reject bad entries">
    If an entry is wrong, **reject** it with a reason so the employee can correct and resubmit it.
    Approve the rest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit payroll to your bookkeeper">
    When the period looks right, **submit** it. This hands the approved hours to your bookkeeper to
    finalize and export. See [Submitting payroll](/client/submitting-payroll).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the payroll summary">
    Your bookkeeper may send back a [payroll summary](/client/payroll-summary) for a final
    confirmation before processing. Approve it to close the loop.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Submit early. The sooner you review and submit, the more time your bookkeeper has to catch
  issues before payroll runs.
