Using API technology, BrightPay offers full integration with TimeKeeper allowing both the payroll software and time and attendance system to directly communicate with each other.*

The TimeKeeper and BrightPay integration allows users to easily send their employees' hours directly from TimeKeeper into BrightPay. The BrightPay API facility eliminates the manual export and import process, automating tedious, repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

By using BrightPay and TimeKeeper together, users will be able to increase efficiency, avoid duplication of efforts and reduce the possibility of manual processing errors and helps ensure staff are paid correctly for all hours worked, including overtime.  

*Please note this for is for single employers at present.

Note: BrightPay does not currently integrate directly with any HR software products, only TimeKeeper for time and attendance purposes (timesheets). BrightPay is a standalone payroll solution and there is no automatic data flow between BrightPay and external HR platforms.

If you need to use data from an HR system within BrightPay — such as hours worked or absence records — you can export that data from your HR platform and import it into BrightPay manually using the CSV import options available under Payroll > Import.
