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.
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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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?

Is the system easy for older or less tech savvy staff to use?
Yes. The tools are designed for simplicity, with intuitive workflows and mobile access that make it easy to pick up. Teams quickly gain confidence and spend less time worrying about systems.
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.
