Most of the payroll process can be done before payroll.

Chasing timesheets, making manual adjustments, and repeatedly keying in data significantly slows down your ability to pay staff accurately. That's where Workforce.com comes in. You can make sure managers approve timesheets, allow staff to update their details via self-service, and set up auto-calculations for complex pay conditions like multiple overtime rates and leave, all before payroll day.

A system you can trust

  • Track time and attendance in the same system as payroll. This means that hours are recorded in the same system you use to pay staff, reducing the risk of human error from moving data between systems. You’ll only need to do a quick check of numbers before running payroll.

Take the headache out of payroll

  • Remind staff to fill out any missed times based on scheduled hours, while managers are prompted to approve timesheets each day. It means you aren't chasing staff or managers for missing or unapproved timesheets, so you can run payroll quickly.

Collect employee details without double entry

  • One-staff profile to rule them all. Along with Onboarding & Employee Self-Service, staff can update their details in the same system as payroll. This means you won’t need to re-enter employee info, chase new staff for tax declaration details, or delay payroll again.

Simple, easy to use, and easy to learn

  • A user-friendly design with all the fundamental workforce management features gives you an easy-to-use system that team members will pick up quickly without the need for extensive training. That way you will be confident managers will use it accurately.

Keep consistent on payroll day and keep employees

  • Consistently pay staff accurately every time, building trust and fostering a happy workforce. That way you’ll keep staff satisfied, reduce the risk of turnover, and ensure you’re always fully staffed.

Fewer corrections, smoother adjustments

  • Keep employee data consistent across scheduling, time and attendance, and payroll to minimise errors. Need to make an adjustment? No problem. Workforce.com allows you to adjust when and where you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Workforce.com’s online payroll solution cost?

To find out what plan will work best for your business needs, request a quote via our pricing page.

How does Workforce.com ensure accurate timesheets?

Workforce.com’s time-tracking system is what elevates your payroll process. We’ve designed our platform to focus on the end-to-end daily operations that come before payroll, like scheduling, time and attendance, and labour compliance. Staff fill out timesheets on a daily basis, either manually or via a time clock system. Managers are prompted to consistently approve these timesheets long before pay run starts. All discrepancies can be seen directly on every timesheet, like if someone worked more or fewer hours than scheduled. Payroll managers can quickly auto-approve timesheets that match scheduled hours, and they can isolate timesheets that require edits, quickly moving payroll along despite the errors.

Is Workforce.com cloud-based?

Yes! As a cloud-based, full-service payroll provider, you can access Workforce.com from any desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

What size businesses use Workforce.com for payroll?

While small businesses all the way to multinational enterprises use Workforce.com, our platform is best suited to organisations with 50-10,000 staff in need of automated payroll and tax compliance.

How many times can I run payroll per month?

You get unlimited payroll with Workforce.com - and don’t worry, there are no additional fees. No matter your situation, Workforce.com can meet all your payroll needs without the restrictions and hidden add-ons.

Can I run payroll myself without the help of software?

Yes, but remember this can be pretty risky and much more time-consuming. Even for small business owners, the prospect of manually calculating payroll data like gross wages, deductions, and leave entitlements for every employee is daunting. You’ll also need to understand and comply with numerous UK employments laws, and you’ll have to build custom payroll reports on your own. This severe lack of automation and assurance typically drives people to find a software solution.

How does my human resources team collect all the necessary information to run payroll?

Workforce.com has an extensive employee onboarding system run entirely through a mobile app. Through an employee portal, new hires can add bank account details, tax declaration, fill out personal information, and much more.

What’s the best payroll software for shift-based hourly workforces?

While there are plenty of good payroll providers on the market that fulfill general use cases like Xero, BrightPay, Sage50, and Quickbooks, none of them are designed specifically for hourly workforces. Workforce.com is the best payroll service to use if your organisation operates in shifts, as it specialises in timesheet accuracy BEFORE the payroll process. The only way to speed up payroll for hourly workforces is to streamline time tracking and make scheduling user-friendly - Workforce.com knows this and has built the best payroll software to reflect it.

Can I connect Workforce.com to my accounting software?

Workforce.com generates payroll summary reports after every pay run which you can then easily export to whatever system you use for accounting. Workforce.com is also completely customisable, helping you generate whatever payroll reports you need for your accounting.

Does Workforce.com have live customer support?

Depending on the package you choose and the size of your business, you’ll receive a dedicated implementation specialist to help you set up your Workforce.com account.
