Workforce management built for 24/7 care

Healthcare runs around the clock, and so does the challenge of staffing it. Computime gives you accurate, real time control of attendance, rotas, and hours across every shift, helping you maintain safe staffing levels, control bank and agency spend, and keep accurate records for pay and compliance. Whether you run a single care home or a multi-site healthcare provider, staff can clock in by biometric terminal, smartphone, or web portal, and their hours flow straight through to payroll.

The cost of getting workforce management wrong

UK healthcare spends billions on temporary staffing. Accurate attendance and rota data is central to bringing it under control, and to filling shifts with lower-cost bank staff rather than expensive agency cover.

The difference Computime makes

Accurate, real time attendance and rota data helps you fill shifts with your own bank staff before reaching for costly agency cover, keep safe staffing levels visible at all times, and send clean hours, including bank, agency and unsocial-hours rates, straight to payroll. One connected system for attendance, rotas, and access control means less admin and a clear, auditable record across every site.

Access control that works with your workforce system

In healthcare, controlling who can enter wards, theatres, medication stores, and data rooms is a patient-safety issue as much as a security one. Computime’s access control runs on the same platform as your time and attendance system, so a single staff record governs both the hours someone works and the doors they can open. When someone joins, moves department, or leaves, their access updates automatically, with no separate system to maintain and no orphaned keycards.

One platform for staff and security means less admin, fewer gaps, and a clear, auditable record of everyone on site.

How it works

One staff record drives everything, from the moment someone clocks in to the doors they can open and the hours that reach payroll.

1

Staff clock in their way

Employees clock in by mobile app, biometric terminal, fob, or card, whatever suits each site and role across your facility.

2

Attendance and access sync

The same record updates their hours and their door access together, so permissions always match who is actually employed and on shift.

3

Managers see it live

A real time dashboard shows who is on site, current staffing levels, lateness and absence, and full access audit trails for compliance.

4

Hours flow to payroll

Accurate hours, including bank, agency and unsocial-hours rates, flow to payroll with direct Sage Payroll integration and export for Pegasus and QuickBooks, with no manual re-keying.
