What accurate payroll data gets you

When the hours flowing into payroll are right first time, everything downstream gets faster, cheaper, and less stressful.

✓

Faster pay runs

Approved hours are ready to send to payroll, so processing is far quicker and smoother each period.

✓

Fewer errors

No manual rekeying means fewer miscalculations, overpayments, and corrections to chase later.

✓

Less admin

Your HR and payroll team stop wrangling spreadsheets and get hours back every pay period, with absence and overtime already accounted for.

✓

Confident, compliant pay

Staff are paid correctly for the time they worked, with a clear time and attendance record behind every figure.

How your data reaches payroll

Three simple steps take you from a clock-in to clean figures your payroll team can run with.

1

Staff clock in

Hours, overtime, and absence are captured automatically as your team works.

2

Managers approve

Anomalies are flagged for review, so only accurate, approved hours move forward.

3

Sent to payroll

Approved data goes straight to your payroll software, ready to run.

Computime works with any payroll software you already use. We integrate directly with Sage Payroll, and export your approved hours ready for packages including Pegasus, QuickBooks, BrightPay, Xero, and IRIS.

Why accurate payroll data matters

Most payroll problems start with the data going in. Get the hours right at source and the errors, costs, and admin downstream fall away.

The payroll body CIPP names unpaid working time as one of the most common causes of underpayment. Accurate clocking data is the simplest way to avoid it. Computime captures the right hours at source, so what reaches payroll is already correct.

We are very pleased with the smooth implementation. Computime worked very hard to make sure installation was completed within the time frame and with minimum disruption. The in-depth training allowed us to focus on production and keeping our employees safe at work while ensuring efficiency.

HR Manager, Wholebake Limited

“

I was tasked with sourcing a computerised time and attendance solution to replace our manual clocking system. The Computime website contained all the information I needed, making the decision straightforward. The software proved easy to use and the helpdesk was very helpful and friendly. Computime have exceeded all of our expectations and objectives. I would definitely recommend them.

Payroll Software Integration FAQS

How does Computime get attendance data into payroll?

Staff clock in, managers approve the hours, and the approved data, including hours, overtime, and absence, is ready to send to your payroll software. There is no manual rekeying, which means faster pay runs and far fewer errors.

Which payroll systems does Computime work with?

Computime works with any payroll software. We integrate directly with Sage Payroll, and export your approved hours as a standard file ready for packages including Pegasus, QuickBooks, BrightPay, Xero, IRIS, and ADP. If you use a different provider, the export adapts to what you use.

Do you integrate with Pegasus and QuickBooks?

Computime produces a clean, approved export of your hours that imports into Pegasus and QuickBooks, removing manual data entry and the errors that come with it. The direct, two-way integration is with Sage; for Pegasus and QuickBooks the data is exported ready to bring in.

How accurate is the payroll data?

Because hours are captured automatically at the point of clocking and checked by managers before they go forward, the data reaching payroll reflects what staff actually worked. This removes the rounding, guesswork, and transcription errors that come with manual timesheets.

How much time does it save?

By removing manual data entry, businesses spend far less time on payroll processing and free their HR and payroll teams from spreadsheet work every pay period.

Is the data secure?

Yes. Computime uses advanced encryption and secure protocols to protect data, with backups in line with best practice, and complies with UK data protection regulations to guard against unauthorised access and breaches.
