Written by Dimas Triaji

Topics covered in this guide are:

Recommendations:

  1. Please perform the Timesheets tasks prior to Invoicing.

  2. Ensure Staff are clocking in and out of their Shifts on the ShiftCare App.


Key topics:

1. Linking Payroll System

We support a wide range of Payroll Systems. Did you know we have an entire Payroll section in our help centre?

A few useful guides:

*Using Quickbooks, Pay Cat or Employment Hero

The KeyPay software is utilised by Pay Cat to provide the payroll function.

Quickbooks has KeyPay directly integrated within it.

The KeyPay software is owned by Employment Hero which has integrated it into their platform.

In ShiftCare the export options are labelled KeyPay.

Please ensure you cover this ahead of the Timesheets section.


2. Timesheets

The following provides guidance on using Timesheets:

  1. Setup pay run interval and start day in ShiftCare Settings.

  2. Setup Pay Groups for efficiency.

  3. Timesheet approval process

    1. Editing

    2. Approval

  4. Timesheet export (for other accounting packages)

  5. Import and export of invoices

Tips for Xero:

  1. Ensure Staff members are linked and synced.

  2. Confirm the Timesheets are approved and accurate. (Best to filter by the pay timeframe e.g. fortnightly).

    1. Once confirmed, export the timesheets into Xero.

    2. Check Xero to confirm the timesheets display as expected. (Their status would indicate “draft”).

    3. You can click into the invoice and confirm the breakdown and approve the timesheet. (This is a recommended/common timesheet validation process).
