Benefits of unified employee management software

Most "all-in-one" platforms are really three or four acquired products wearing the same logo.
Microkeeper isn't. Because HR, rostering, timesheets and payroll run on one system, a change in one place shows up everywhere else automatically: a new starter added through the HR management system, an updated pay rate, an approved leave request through employee self-service. Nothing needs manual re-entry or end-of-cycle reconciliation.

Save time to focus on core operations instead of administrative tasks with our automated payroll system.

Centralised Employee Records

Store signed contracts, certifications, and workforce documents in one secure hub. Track task completion and employee status effortlessly.

Unified employee management, for easy payroll

Payroll is only as accurate as the data feeding it. When your employee records, rosters and timesheets already live in the same system as payroll, there's nothing to double-check before you run a pay cycle: the hours and award rates are already correct, and leave balances are already current.

How can payroll software benefit my business?

Payroll software offers many benefits, including the automation of payroll calculations, increased compliance with tax and award regulations, minimised risk of penalties, and provides detailed reporting capabilities. Payroll software can enhance employees satisfaction by offering a self-service hub for accessing payslips, and other important information.

What features should I look for in employee management and payroll software?

When selecting workforce management and payroll software consider features such as automated tax and award calculations, employee self-service portals, customisable reporting options, and in-built HRIS and rostering systems to cover all the processes in your business.

Is cloud-based payroll software secure?

Yes, cloud-based payroll software is secure. Most providers implement robust security measures, including data-encryption, secure access protocols and regular backups. Additionally, in Australia providers are required to comply with industry standards and regulations to protect sensitive employee information.

How does time tracking work in workforce management software?

Time tracking in workforce management software involves various clock-in/clock-out methods through which employees can record their hours worked, breaks taken, and any overtime directly through the system. The data us then used for accurate payroll processing.

How can I ensure compliance with labour laws using payroll software?

Payroll software helps ensure compliance with labour laws by automating calculations through customised award interpretation that are defined in the rules created during the platform set up.

Can small businesses benefit from using payroll software?

Absolutely! Small businesses can greatly benefit from using employee management and payroll software by streamlining their processes and reducing their administrative burden. These systems replace manual work and pules of paperwork with integrated solutions that ensure accuracy and compliance throughout daily processes.

What are the costs associated with implementing payroll and workforce management software?

The costs of implementing payroll and workforce management software usually includes subscription fee, setup fee for initial configuration, training costs for staff, and potential charges for additional features or support services.
Microkeeper offers flexible pricing plans that suit your business regardless of the size or industry.

What is employee management software?

Employee management software is a platform that brings the day-to-day work of running a team, HR records, scheduling, time tracking and payroll, into one system, instead of spreading it across spreadsheets and separate apps. The best versions update automatically: change a pay rate once, and it's correct everywhere it's used.

How can an employee management system help HR managers?

It cuts out the manual cross-checking that eats up an HR manager's week. Instead of confirming a new starter's details in three different systems, or manually calculating hours from a paper timesheet, everything sits in one record, which also makes it far easier to prove compliance if the Fair Work Ombudsman ever comes asking.

What features should I look for in employee management software?

At minimum: centralised employee records, rostering that accounts for award rates and overtime rules, timesheets that sync directly to payroll, and reporting you can hand to an accountant without reformatting it first. If a platform can't do all four without exporting to a spreadsheet in between, it isn't really all-in-one.
