Pay Cat releases JobPac Integration with Employment Hero Payroll

Written by Garth Belic | 27 March 2023

We are pleased to announce that Pay Cat has released an integration between JobPac and Employment Hero Payroll. This will assist clients in maintaining their list of jobs and getting job level costs, all while maintaining payroll compliance.

The building and construction award is characteristically one of the most complicated Modern Awards in Australia. It is also often replaced with unionised enterprise agreements which can lead to onerous calculation requirements for construction firms. The Employment Hero Payroll / JobPac Integration brings the best of both worlds together. 

 

What is JobPac?

JobPac is a market leading Construction ERP that incorporates all facets of job and contractor management

JobPac allows firms to easily:

  • Track job and labour costs;
  • Maintain AP;

  • Utilise business forecasting and built-in business intelligence tools

Employment Hero Payroll and the Construction Industry

Employment Hero Payroll is a payroll system designed around helping Australian businesses comply with a difficult compliance landscape.  

Employment Hero Payroll extends on JobPac’s native payroll module and incorporates rostering, time and attendance, payroll and reporting into one system, with Australia's most flexible pay condition rule engine. Supporting this, Pay Cat exclusively has the Building and Construction Award template available to our Employment Hero Payroll clients.

While JobPac has it's own payroll module, Employment Hero Payroll extends on JobPac’s native payroll module and incorporates rostering, time and attendance, payroll and reporting into one system. Employment Hero Payroll also complies inbuilt with Australia's most flexible pay condition rule engine. Supporting this, Pay Cat exclusively has the Building and Construction Award template available to our Employment Hero Payroll clients.

How does the JobPac Integration work?

The integration will read a list of jobs and their related cost items from JobPac. 
These will be synced automatically into Employment Hero Payroll as locations. This allows employees to take advantage of Employment Hero Payroll’s impressive suite of time and attendance options and capture job and cost centre context.

And we haven’t forgotten about supervisors either! If a supervisor is marked as the project manager in JobPac, they will automatically receive access to rostering, timesheet approvals etc for only the jobs they manage.

When you’re ready to import your timesheets for job costing analysis and billing purposes, Pay Cat have produced a report you can run instantly or on a schedule, which will be in a validated JobPac importable format.
