From job timesheets to payroll without entering them twice
Keep WorkGuru as the source of truth for time on jobs, send completed timesheets to Employment Hero Payroll, and pull payroll-calculated costs back when you need them.

Overview
Position around eliminating duplicate timesheet entry and improving job costing with payroll-calculated cost data.
Payroll and job costing need the same hours, but they use those hours differently.
WorkGuru keeps the operational context – which job and task the time belonged to – while Employment Hero handles payroll. Connecting the two avoids duplicate data entry and makes it easier to compare job performance with real labour cost.

FAQs
Employment Hero questions
Which system should we edit timesheets in?
WorkGuru should be the source of truth. Make timesheet changes in WorkGuru and resync them rather than maintaining separate versions in both systems.
Can we require timesheets to be approved before payroll?
Yes. The integration can be configured so only approved WorkGuru timesheets are eligible to sync.
Does Employment Hero cost data come back automatically?
No. WorkGuru can fetch the calculated cost and status of matching recent timesheets on demand.
Run the job in WorkGuru. Send the hours straight to Employment Hero.
