Time and Attendance
Take control of time and attendance, from clock-on to payroll
Gain real-time visibility into your workforce compliance to minimise payroll errors, reduce time fraud and streamline clocking functionality with nimbus time and attendance software.
Backed by compliance-based automation, nimbus enables security, visibility and real-time work data that translates to accurate pay outcomes.
Benefits & Features
Record and manage employee hours
Capture time consistently via the nimbus self-service mobile app, biometric integration or a third-party clocking tool.
Resolve errors before they reach payroll
Using context-rich clocking and attendance data, nimbus compares scheduled vs worked hours, identifies variances, interprets compliant transactions, and enables auto-approvals so inaccuracies are caught before they become payroll issues.
Automate timesheets for payroll
Seamlessly sync attendance data with payroll to ensure accurate pay outcomes and flag compliance risks before they become an issue, reducing retrospective corrections or workarounds.
Manage and record employee hours
Accurate attendance starts with the right capture methods and consistent policies. nimbus’ enterprise time and attendance software gives organisations the flexibility to record time across all roles and locations, feeding real-time data into timesheets for review, approval, and payroll export.
- Capture time via the nimbus employee self-service app or existing biometric tools
- Record time data consistently across teams and sites
- Feed captured time and unscheduled attendances, including activities and tasks, into timesheets for review and approval
- Support payroll-ready time records at every stage
Minimise timesheet errors and approval delays
In many organisations, timesheet errors stem from discrepancies between what was scheduled and what was actually worked. By catching variances when they happen, managers stay ahead of issues. With nimbus, organisations can:
- Compare scheduled vs actual hours worked for accurate pay, entitlements, and loading
- Enable shift auto-approvals with pre-defined clocking thresholds, tolerances and compliance rules
- Identify shift trends over time to inform future scheduling
- Reduce unexpected labour costs linked to time variances and unnecessary overtime
- Reduce downstream payroll corrections and off-cycle pay runs
- Sync attendance data with payroll to reduce uncertainty, inaccuracies and time fraud
Time and Attendance controls and visibility
Geo-fenced clocking with rules and tolerances
Attach geo-fenced clocking to predefined business rules, tolerances and locations to support shift security and secure work access. This reduces uncertainty, limits time fraud and provides a reliable audit trail.
Rules engine for timesheet approval decisions
nimbus’ powerful rules engine interprets clocking data, enables automatic timesheet approval and flags inaccuracies for manager review before payroll processing, supporting always-on compliance with reduced administrative burden.
Scheduled vs worked insights
Reporting and Insights provides comprehensive data on scheduled vs actual hours worked to identify shift trends, understand labour cost impacts and highlight time variance drivers. This gives managers, operational supervisors, and administrators the visibility they need to make informed decisions.
