Accurate Time & Attendance Management for NZ Teams

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.

Time & Attendance Is Part of a Connected Workflow

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.

Manage time and attendance with ease.

See how Simplifi can cut timesheet admin, catch pay errors before payroll and keep your time records ready for Holidays Act checks.

Accurate Attendance, Anywhere

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.

Fewer Timesheet Errors

Discrepancy alerts and two-tier approval catch mistakes before payroll does, so staff are paid for the hours they actually worked.

Faster Pay Runs

Approved hours go straight to your payroll provider, so your payroll team isn't re-keying timesheets or chasing missing ones on pay day.

Clear Visibility Across Sites

Real-time data and filters let managers see attendance by team, site or event, so gaps show up before they become overtime.

Records That Stand Up to Scrutiny

Every timesheet keeps its approval history and audit trail, supporting the wage and time records NZ employers must keep for six years.

Collaborating for Success, Growing Together

“Simplifi is a Kiwi-built product that understands New Zealand labour laws and our workplace agreements. The support team listens, responds quickly, and provides practical solutions. Since moving across, our employees are more engaged, our managers have greater oversight, and our administration is far more efficient.”

Christine Ferrier,
Finance Administrator, Tararua Health Group (Omni Healthcare)

"The system has made timesheet & leave approval across the organisation significantly easier. Our staff have easily adopted the new technology and it’s improved the efficiency of collating data for payroll. A key success factor is having the payroll rules embedded in Simplifi. This reduces the risk of error and ensures staff are paid for their contracted entitlements."

Angela Kneeshaw,
Chief Financial Officer, BeGroup Management Ltd

"They were friendly, easy to work with, and willing to adapt and grow with us. They understood Kiwi business and focused on the end user, not just the head office. Since using Simplifi, we’ve reduced overtime, improved rostering efficiency, and in some stores we now fill shifts in minutes instead of hours."

Tristram Verrell,
Productivity, Efficiency & Workforce Manager, Foodstuffs North Island

“The training and support from the team at Simplifi has been a big plus. It takes time to learn a new system, and aged care is ‘messy’ from a staffing point of view, so getting Simplifi tuned to our ways took a bit of time but we had ample support. The ‘Hey Jamie’ phone calls and emails always got fast results.”

Mark Buckley,
General Manager at Lonsdale Total Care Centre
