Roster Creation with ShiftCare
Begin by effortlessly creating and managing rosters within ShiftCare. Select clients, assign care types that align with NDIS pricing, and choose shift types corresponding to Pay Cat work types. This encompasses everything from standard work to specialised shifts like sleepovers, guaranteeing that all aspects of care are taken into account. Publish your rosters and seamlessly notify employees through instant updates.
Simple Timesheet Management and Approval
After shifts are completed, employees can clock in and out, add mileage, and input essential details directly within ShiftCare. Managers then review and approve timesheets, which are crucial for payroll and also become part of the billing under the NDIS scheme. The timesheets will then flow from ShiftCare to Pay Cat with the click of a button. This streamlined approval process ensures accuracy and compliance.
Running a Pay Run (No more manual importing & exporting)
Running a Pay Run is as simple as selecting 'New Pay Run'. This will include timesheets from the selected pay period. Review & approve before finalising the payroll. You then can download an ABA file for batch payments to employees.
