Time and attendance software for complex shift patterns

Time and attendance software records when employees start and finish work, the breaks they take and the time they spend away. It replaces paper timesheets and spreadsheets with clockings captured at source, on a terminal, a phone or a desktop, and turns them into accurate hours ready for payroll.

For employers running shifts, the software also checks those hours against the rules that apply to them: working time limits, rest breaks, overtime and pay rates. Managers see who is in, who is missing and where cover is short, while payroll receives hours that have already been checked and approved.

Crown time and attendance software is built for UK organisations with large, multi-site workforces and complex shift patterns, where rotating shifts, annualised hours and several pay rules make manual tracking slow and easy to get wrong.

Most payroll errors start with the hours. A missed clocking, a shift swap agreed by email or an overtime rate keyed in by hand all flow straight through to an employee's pay, and fixing them afterwards costs time and goodwill.

Crown applies your rules to every clocking as it happens. You set them by team, location or role, including overtime, holidays and special pay bands, and the hours calculate automatically. Exceptions such as missed clockings or unapproved overtime are flagged for a manager to resolve before the pay run closes.

Approved hours then pass to your payroll system through Crown's payroll and HR integration, so nobody re-keys data between systems. Every figure keeps a clear record behind it, ready for the day an employee or an auditor asks how it was worked out.
