RosterElf Payroll Integration: What You Need to Know

"The biggest thrill wasn't in winning on Sunday but meeting the payroll on Monday."

—Art Rooney

What is payroll integration? First, to understand payroll integration, you should understand what software integration is. Software integration varies, but one use case is when two separate apps on your device (i.e. computer, tablet, smartphone etc.) share information to alleviate the need to enter data in each app separately.

For RosterElf, payroll integration allows you to manage your staff rosters and different pay rules to apply to the hours worked. RosterElf makes rostering and payroll far more straightforward and quicker to manage, which is what RosterElf does best. Once you're ready to pay your staff, you process the payroll in RosterElf, and the payroll integration pushes or exports that data to your payroll software in a format that your payroll software understands—saving you heaps of time and reducing errors.

When you integrate these certain functions with payroll, you reduce the chance of unwanted errors and steer clear of repeatedly entering similar data. You can also save time reporting information to government agencies if you have all the information in a single place.

Thanks to the breakthrough of big data, payroll integration is taking on more importance. Businesses struggling with how to keep, track and protect employee data cache find that payroll integration minimises the uphill struggle. It simplifies access to essential data of both you and your employees.

What Is RosterElf Payroll Integration?

This fantastic and innovative feature is a full-service payroll platform integration. It is ideal for small and big companies alike. What's even better is that it is packed with numerous perks, such as:

  • Scheduled and worked hours comparison

Our payroll integration is seamless. You can easily see all worked and scheduled hours in one location to make your payroll approval fast and easy. In addition, you can check the total wage costs and any discrepancies between the rostered and worked hours.

After approving the hours worked, you can run the payroll with a single tap.

  • Central third-party system payroll integration

Understandably, companies use nothing but the most reliable and trustworthy payroll solutions for their organisation. That said, we ensured you could link RosterElf with those systems. With our payroll integration feature, you can access different third-party payroll software—Xero, Sage, and MYOB.

Even better, these payroll solutions trust RosterElf as their partner; therefore, the connection is smooth and takes less than 10 minutes.

  • View hidden costs

Apart from checking discrepancies in the worked and scheduled hours, you can also view your sales vs labour costs and wards while creating an employee roster. As a result, you can better plan for business trends with complete transparency in your expenses.

  • Review and process payroll in minutes

It's now easy to do your weekly or fortnightly payroll with our payroll approval process. But, first, you need to review all data on one screen and decide the times to be approved.

RosterElf has an array of information, including real-time variances and clock times, roster times, and everything in between that needs approval for payroll. You can also see staff comments and photo proof to give you an overview when reviewing employee timesheets.

You can export the data to your chosen payroll provider once managers are satisfied with the approved hours. At the same time, award interpretation is accomplished.

  • Award interpretation directly to the payroll

After the timesheets are approved, the data is transferred to the chosen payroll with just a simple click. The award interpretation is then done automatically with pre-prepared timesheet drafts and is ready for processing.

You have to finalise the pay run, make a bank file, and finish the payroll process. So say goodbye to manually entering payroll data which is time-consuming—let RosterElf do the job for you.
