Simplifi's Time, Attendance & Approvals module tracks attendance, flags hours that don't match the roster, and sends approved timesheets straight to your payroll provider.
From Our Blog
Managing employee attendance and timesheet approvals is critical to keeping your operations efficient and compliant. Simplifi's Time, Attendance, & Approvals module gives you one end-to-end system for tracking attendance, managing approvals, and getting timesheets ready for payroll. From real-time data capture to automated workflows, this module takes the hassle out of workforce management.
New Zealand healthcare, aged care, early childhood, and retail teams use Simplifi's time and attendance software, with approved hours sent straight to iPayroll, Smartly, Datacom Payroll, and other NZ payroll providers.
Easy Clock-In/Out
Staff clock in and out on the Simplifi Work app, a tablet, a browser, a kiosk or a beacon, so you get accurate attendance records whether your team is on-site, across multiple locations or out in the field.
Two-Tier Approval Process
Managers approve timesheets first, then your payroll team gives final sign-off, which means two separate checks before any hours are paid.
Discrepancy Alerts
Simplifi highlights any difference between rostered and worked hours, so managers can fix late starts, early finishes and unrostered shifts before payroll closes.
Comprehensive Filters
Search and review timesheets by employee, day or event, so managers can find the timesheets that need attention in seconds.
Direct Payroll Integration
Export approved timesheets in one click to iPayroll, Smartly, Crystal Payroll, Datacom Payroll, PayGlobal or IMS, with no re-keying.
External Client Approvals
Share timesheets with external clients for review and sign-off, useful for labour-hire and contracting teams whose clients approve the hours worked on their site.
From the moment staff clock in to the moment pay is processed, every step connects: rostered hours become timesheets, managers and payroll approve them, the Payroll Rules Engine applies your pay rules, and approved hours sync to iPayroll or Datacom.

Simplifi's Time, Attendance, & Approvals module does more than just track hours; it delivers a comprehensive system that reduces administrative overhead, enhances accuracy, and cuts out manual steps. With automation and flexibility at its core, this module helps organisations manage their workforce with confidence.
Simplifi’s Time, Attendance, & Approvals module transforms workforce tracking into a streamlined, transparent, and efficient process.
Whether staff are on-site, across multiple locations or out in the field, the app, kiosk and browser clock-in options mean attendance data is always current.
Discrepancy alerts and two-tier approval catch mistakes before payroll does, so staff are paid for the hours they actually worked.
Approved hours go straight to your payroll provider, so your payroll team isn't re-keying timesheets or chasing missing ones on pay day.
Real-time data and filters let managers see attendance by team, site or event, so gaps show up before they become overtime.
Every timesheet keeps its approval history and audit trail, supporting the wage and time records NZ employers must keep for six years.
Simplifi's Payroll Integration module is built around the payroll systems businesses actually run on in New Zealand, with direct payroll integrations rather than a generic connector.
