Frequently Asked Questions

Which payroll systems does TimeTally integrate with?
TimeTally connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online. Once timesheets are approved, one click posts the wages to either as a journal, with no totals typed in by hand. For Sage, BrightPay and other payroll software, the CSV export gives you hours and pay per employee.
Do I need to manually reconcile timesheets before exporting?
No. TimeTally only exports approved timesheets, so unapproved or rejected entries are never included. The export is ready to go the moment you click the button.
Can I export hours split by project or employee?
Yes. TimeTally exports hours broken down by employee, and if you use multi-project tracking, you can also see time split by project or cost code before exporting.
What if an employee's timesheet was approved in error?
Managers can change an approved timesheet up until it is exported. After that it is locked; an admin can mark the export as not exported, correct the timesheet and export again, then void or reverse the earlier journal in Xero or QuickBooks.
Does the integration work with overtime?
Yes. TimeTally works out overtime from your rules and prices it at each person's rates before the export, so the Xero or QuickBooks journal includes it. The CSV export can show standard and overtime hours and pay in separate columns, including a column per overtime rate.
Is the payroll export included in the £3/employee price?
Yes. The Xero and QuickBooks exports are included in the standard price of £3 per employee per month. The only extra is optional GPS clock-in at £1 per employee per month.
