Nothing hits payroll until you approve it: every edit logged next to the original
Approve & push to Xero or MYOBThe problem
A clock-in time doesn't tell payroll which award, classification or penalty rate applies. So every pay run, someone rebuilds every timesheet by hand and hopes it's right.
Tradies, apprentices and casuals, each with their own classification and rate.
"Anything outside 6:00 AM till 6:00 PM is overtime." Not just the number of hours.
The tech picks a dropdown on site, and the office has to guess whether it was the right one.
Employee by employee, into Xero or MYOB, every single pay run.
In the office
Wrong pay types to fix, Saturday hours to chase, and a Wednesday afternoon gone to keying overtime.
On pay day
A knot in the stomach every pay day. No time to check every line, and nobody wants a back-pay claim or a crew member who feels short-changed.
It's just wrong
Getting the rate right shouldn't depend on which tech picked which dropdown.
What you get
Set each worker up once. From then on, every GPS-verified check-in is split by your pay rules, checked, approved by you and pushed to payroll.
Classification, rate and pay rules sit on the worker's profile, so the rate never depends on who's holding the timesheet.
Each GPS-verified check-in becomes ordinary, time-and-a-half, double-time, weekend and public-holiday lines, so overtime is right without anyone keying it in.
"Anytime after your 8 hours, it's at 1.5 [times] and it calculates it for you."
Clean timesheets go straight through and flagged ones go to the site manager, so you only check the exceptions.
Every edit is logged next to the original, so you have the record if Fair Work ever asks.
The plan
We set up classifications, rates and pay rules with you in one session.
Hours build themselves and split by your rules. No new paperwork for the boys.
Review the flagged ones, approve, and push to Xero or MYOB. The pay run takes minutes, not a Wednesday afternoon.

We get it

Construction is in the spotlight: the FWO found 68% non-compliance among the apprentice employers it investigated. Intentional underpayment is now a crime, and small mistakes can bring big penalties. Under s557C, if you can't produce time records, you carry the burden of disproving the claim.
