Most payroll errors are really timesheet errors
When hours live in one tool and payroll in another, every pay period is a copy-paste exercise. Moonworkers processes hourly, salaried and zero-hours staff natively, so the numbers only exist once.
Hours become payslips automatically
Enter hours per employee or import them each period. Rates, overtime and premiums apply automatically, and the payslip preview updates in real time.
Multiple working patterns, one payrun
Different teams on different patterns, week and weekend rates, salaried managers next to zero-hours staff: all reconciled in a single run.
Holiday accrual for irregular hours
Holiday tracking and rolled-up pay on the 52-week average, ERA-compliant, so variable-hours staff get exactly what the law says.
Minimum wage checked on every run
Hours times rate is where NMW breaches happen. Moonworkers applies the correct age-banded rate automatically, every payrun.
Time and pay in one system
For rotas, shifts and every business that pays by the hour.
Shifts and timesheets
Built-in shifts and timesheets for variable workers: enter hours directly, use the shift calendar, or import your rota export.
Any contract type
Hourly, salaried, zero-hours and casual staff processed together, with statutory payments for all of them.
Overtime and premium rates
Multiple rates per employee, applied automatically to the hours you record.
Real-time payslip preview
Every hour you enter updates the payslip on screen. Approve the run only when the numbers are right.
RTI, pensions and P60s
The compliance layer is included: confirmed RTI on every run, auto-enrolment, year-end documents.
Per-payslip pricing
Fluctuating headcount, fluctuating bill. You pay for the payslips you actually run.
Time tracking and payroll, answered
Enter them directly, use the built-in shifts and timesheets for variable workers, or import them from the rota tool you already use. Either way, payslips update in real time as the hours land.
