How does Workhr integrate with Astute Payroll?

Workhr captures each shift as a digital timesheet with a GPS site sign-in and supervisor approval, then sends the approved hours to Astute Payroll, which handles interpretation, pay and billing.

Does Astute still run pay and bill?

Yes. Astute stays the pay-and-bill engine. Workhr is the capture and approval layer in front of it, so the hours Astute receives are already correct and approved.

How does this reduce payroll errors?

Hours are captured once on site with GPS and approved by a supervisor before payroll sees them, so there is no re-keying of paper or spreadsheets and every payable hour has a checked origin.

Does it work across New Zealand and Australia?

Yes. Astute is a trans-Tasman engine, and Workhr feeds it approved timesheets from sites in both countries.

Astute Payroll integration

Approved hours to Astute Payroll, captured once on site.

Workhr feeds Astute Payroll the timesheets it needs to pay and bill: GPS site sign-in, supervisor approval, rate-accurate hours, sent through from one approved timesheet instead of a spreadsheet.

Astute Payroll is a capable pay-and-bill engine, but it can only pay and bill what it is given. If those hours arrive on paper or in a spreadsheet, someone still has to collect, chase and key them. Workhr is the capture layer in front of Astute: it gets the hours right on site so Astute can do what it does best.

01 / CAPTURE

The timesheet Astute needs, captured cleanly

Every shift becomes a digital timesheet in the worker's app: signed in and out on site with GPS, with breaks, allowances and cost codes attached. Supervisors approve from the client portal, so what reaches Astute is already checked and complete.

02 / TO ASTUTE

Approved hours flow to Astute for pay and bill

Once approved, Workhr sends the hours to Astute Payroll, where interpretation, pay and billing run. Rates are snapshotted at the shift, so worked shifts are never repriced by a later rate change, and Astute remains the single trans-Tasman pay-and-bill engine.

03 / NO GAPS

Nothing falls between the timesheet and the pay run

Because the timesheet is captured against the assignment and the worker, there is no orphaned paper, no missing signature and no guessing at the end of the week. Every payable hour has a GPS-stamped, approved origin.
