Turn check-in times into wages without re-typing hours.
The gap between hours worked and amount paid is where mistakes live: a clock on one side, a spreadsheet in the middle, payroll on the other. GetUp calculates gross wages straight from recorded check-in and check-out times and each person's hourly rate. Your payroll provider or accountant then handles taxes and filing.
- Gross wages calculated from recorded check-in and check-out times
- Hourly rates can differ by weekday, and manual hours cover work off the rota
- Your accountant reviews wages in their own login
The problem
What this fixes
Where manual timesheet-to-payroll breaks, and what replaces it.
Without GetUp
Someone copies hours from the clock into a spreadsheet, rounds a few and mistypes one.
With GetUp
Wages are worked out from the recorded times, so there's no copy step to get wrong.
Without GetUp
Staff who work at several locations appear in several sheets that someone has to merge.
With GetUp
Each person's shifts across every location add up in one place.
Without GetUp
Your accountant gets a different file every month and rebuilds it by hand.
With GetUp
Your accountant logs in and reviews wages directly, with access limited to what you grant.
How it works
From setup to running it
From check-in to wages your accountant can review.
- 01
Record real hours
Staff check in and out with the code on the location tablet, so each shift has recorded start and finish times.
- 02
Set hourly rates
Give each person an hourly rate, with different rates for particular weekdays where you need them.
- 03
Add hours off the rota
Enter manual hours for work that didn't happen on a scheduled shift.
- 04
Review the month's wages
GetUp adds up each person's hours, applies the rate in effect on each day and notes shifts that have no check-in.
- 05
Hand over for payroll
Your accountant reviews wages in their own login; taxes, deductions and filing happen in your payroll software or with them.
Outcomes
What changes
What an automatic hours-to-wages step is worth.
No copy-paste step
Hours don't pass through a spreadsheet on their way to pay.
Numbers you can trace
Every wage figure comes from recorded check-ins and the rate for that day.
Missing check-ins noted
Shifts without a check-in are called out, so they're sorted before pay goes out.
An accountant who can log in
They review wages themselves instead of waiting for an export.
FAQ
Questions people ask
How does GetUp calculate wages from timesheets?
It takes each shift's recorded check-in and check-out times, applies the person's hourly rate for that day and adds any manual hours you've entered.
Is this full payroll with tax filing?
No. GetUp calculates gross wages and doesn't file payroll taxes. Withholding, deductions and filing happen in your payroll software or with your accountant, in the US, the UK or anywhere else.
What if someone forgot to check in?
GetUp notes shifts without a check-in in the wage calculation, so you can review them before paying.
Can hourly rates differ by day?
Yes. You can set different hourly rates for specific weekdays, and the rate in effect on each day is applied.
What does my accountant see?
They get their own login, and you decide which areas they can open, such as wages, invoices and expenses.
