Payroll That Works for Franchisees

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from franchise operators about TimeTally

Can each franchisee manage their own employees independently?
Yes. Each franchise location is set up as its own account, with its own managers and employees. The franchisor gets an overview without being able to interfere in day-to-day approvals — franchisees stay in control of their own operation.
Can I set company-wide policies that all franchisees must follow?
Yes. As a franchisor you can standardise leave policies, approval workflows, and pay period rules across your network. Franchisees can't override them, which keeps your whole operation compliant and consistent.
Is TimeTally suitable for franchises where staff are paid minimum wage?
Yes — and NMW compliance is one of the main reasons franchise operators choose TimeTally. The system tracks hours against the correct NMW rate for each employee's age group, and flags any timesheet where the effective hourly rate falls below the legal minimum.
How does billing work for multiple franchise locations?
Each franchise location is billed separately at £2 per active employee per month. There are no cross-location bundling requirements. Franchisees can manage their own billing, or you can arrange a group billing setup — contact us to discuss.
Can I see data across all my franchise locations in one place?
Yes. As a franchisor you can access a network-wide view showing approved hours, leave usage, and overtime across all locations. You can filter by location or date range and export a combined report.
