Timesheet Payroll Automation

From timesheet to payroll. No re-entry.

Manual payroll calculations from paper timesheets are slow and error-prone. Aimsio auto-calculates overtime, shift differentials, and exports payroll-ready data to your system.

Aimsio Payroll Automation calculating overtime and pay rules from timesheets

Before & After

What changes when you switch to Aimsio

Before

Without payroll automation

  • Overtime calculated manually in spreadsheets - payroll staff reference different rule documents and make calculation errors that result in under- or overpayment.
  • Pay rule errors cause disputes and corrections - incorrect overtime or differential calculations trigger employee complaints and costly reprocessing.
  • Payroll takes days to process - manually gathering approved timesheets, running calculations, and reformatting data for export consumes the payroll team's entire week.
  • Data must be reformatted for each system - exporting to ADP, Sage, or your ERP means manually restructuring data every pay cycle.
After

With Aimsio Payroll Automation

  • Overtime calculated correctly on every cycle - Labour rules applied automatically, no manual lookups or formulas.
  • Accurate pay for every crew member, every period - The math is done for you, based on the rules you define.
  • Payroll processed in minutes, not days - From approved timesheets to export-ready data in a fraction of the time.
  • Direct export to ADP, Sage, and more - Payroll data formatted for your system, no reformatting needed.

Core Capabilities

Everything you need to automate payroll

Define pay rules once - Aimsio handles every calculation and exports a clean payroll file.

Overtime Calculation

Aimsio automatically applies your overtime thresholds to approved timesheet hours. daily, weekly, or per shift - without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

Double Time Rules

Configure double time thresholds per employee type, job, or province. Rules trigger automatically when hours exceed your defined limits.

Shift Differentials

Apply shift differential rates for nights, weekends, and statutory holidays. Differentials are calculated automatically from timesheet shift data.

Payroll Export

Export payroll-ready files formatted for ADP, Sage, or your ERP. No reformatting, no copy-paste. just a clean file ready to upload to your payroll system.

Multi-Province Rules

Support labour rules across multiple provinces and states. Employee-type and jurisdiction-specific rules are applied independently per timesheet.

Exception Flagging

Timesheets that fall outside standard pay rules are flagged automatically for payroll review. exceptions get caught before they become payroll errors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

You configure overtime rules once per employee type - daily thresholds, weekly maximums, and shift-based triggers. When a timesheet is approved, Aimsio applies those rules to the hours and calculates regular, overtime, and double time automatically. No one on the payroll team needs to perform manual calculations.

Yes. Aimsio supports multi-jurisdiction pay rules. You can configure different overtime thresholds, double time triggers, and holiday rules per province or state. Rules are applied to each employee based on their assigned jurisdiction, so field teams working across regions are always paid correctly.

Aimsio supports direct export to ADP and Sage. For other systems, payroll data can be exported in CSV format ready for upload to your ERP or HR platform. The export file is formatted to match your system's requirements - no manual reformatting required.

Timesheets that fall outside your standard pay rules are automatically flagged as exceptions and held for payroll team review. This means the majority of timesheets process automatically while edge cases - unusual shifts, missing data, or unusual hour totals - are surfaced for human review before the payroll file is generated.

Yes. Aimsio's payroll and billing automation engines both run from the same approved timesheets. A single approval triggers both payroll calculations and billing ticket generation simultaneously - so your payroll team and finance team each get their output without requiring two separate approval processes.

Pay rule configuration typically happens during your Aimsio onboarding, which takes one to two weeks. Aimsio's implementation team will work with your payroll and HR team to map your existing pay rules into the platform. Once configured, rules are applied automatically to every future payroll cycle without any additional setup.
