Fully integrated finance and payroll workflows

Features

Why payroll systems alone don’t cut it

 

You know the drill by now. It’s the last week of the month and suddenly everyone’s asking “where are the timesheets?” Your managers are texting staff who’ve gone MIA. Someone’s written their hours on the back of a coffee stained receipt. Another person swears they worked overtime but there’s no record of it anywhere.

Ringing any bells? You’re far from alone. The good news? This way of working can actually end.

Browser-Check--Streamline-Core

Nightingale’s payroll system is built specifically for Australian care providers who deal with complex award structures, multiple funding sources and ever changing compliance requirements. We understand that your staff work across different clients, funding streams, and service types, all requiring accurate cost allocation and award interpretation. Our platform captures this complexity automatically, so your payroll data is always audit ready and compliant. No chasing, no guessing, no stress.

Real-Time Timesheet Automation

Staff hours captured as they work
  • Timesheets complete automatically as staff clock in, complete shifts and record activities through our mobile app.
  • Geo-location verification ensures accurate attendance and time tracking, while integrated break management captures all billable and non-billable time according to award requirements.

Seamless Payroll Integration

Works with your existing payroll provider
  • Flexible export options and API integrations ensure your timesheet data flows exactly where it needs to go whether that’s MYOB, Xero, KeyPay or any other payroll system.
  • Customisable data formatting matches your payroll provider’s requirements, while automated validation checks catch errors before data export.

Smart Award Interpretation

Accurate calculations every time
  • Built-in award interpretation automatically calculates penalty rates, overtime, shift allowances, and public holiday loadings based on current Fair Work standards.
  • Automated compliance checking ensures all timesheet calculations meet award requirements, reducing the risk of underpayments and compliance issues.

Automated Data Flow

Seamless integration with your existing systems
  • Real-time synchronisation of roster and attendance data ensures smooth information flow to staff timesheets, eliminating manual data entry and streamlining workplace operations.
  • Manager approval workflows allow staff to submit timesheets for moderation and approval before automatic transfer to your payroll system for processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Nightingale

We use a mix of staff, including agency carers. Will the system still work?

Absolutely. Care plans, daily tasks, and notes live in one place, so whether it’s a regular team member or an agency worker, everyone follows the same guidance. This protects continuity of care and reduces errors.

Do workers need to come into the office for updates?

No. Staff can see schedules, log progress notes, and update tasks from their phone. They stay connected in the field, reducing phone calls back to the office and keeping information current.
