We run your payroll end to end, handled by New Zealand specialists who know your business by name. Your timesheets, rosters and time clocks feed straight into the pay run, so the hours are only entered once.
When Monday morning turns up something that needs sorting, you reach a team based in New Zealand who already know how your pay run is put together. No ticket queue standing between you and an answer, and no explaining your business from scratch each time. The same people look after your account every pay run, so the context does not have to be rebuilt every time you pick up the phone.
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces the Holidays Act on 6 August 2028. We have been following it since it was a discussion document and we are building for it now, so that the changeover asks very little of you when it arrives. Until then the Holidays Act still applies in full, and we keep your configuration matched to it rather than to whatever was set up years ago.
A good deal of New Zealand payroll still runs on a desktop application and a lot of retyping. It does not have to. Time clocks and timesheets record what actually happened, once, by the people closest to it. Rostering is an optional module on the same system, so the plan and the record are not in two places. Where something you rely on is not connected yet, we build the integration.
Software does what it is configured to do. The difference is in who configures it, who checks it, and who picks up the phone when a pay run does something unexpected.
Your pay run documented properly, so it does not live in one person's memory.
Time clocks, rostering and finance systems connected, including the awkward ones.
A full payroll platform, configured around how you actually work.
Time clocks where the work happens — mounted or portable, if that suits you.
The repetitive parts of the pay run handled without anybody chasing them.
Holidays Act compliant now, Employment Leave Act from 2028, tracked on your behalf.
Sleepovers, overnight rates, funded hours and staff moving between sites.
Site allowances, variable hours, subcontractors alongside employees.
Salaried teams, parental leave, bonuses and hybrid arrangements.
Equitas run a disability and care service and they use Tempus end to end: we run their pay run, and their own team uses the timesheets, rosters and time clocks that feed it. Steve and Amie talk about how that came together, what changed for the people doing the work each fortnight, and what they would tell another provider weighing up the same move.
“We'd approached a couple of other companies who told us that they could manage our payroll… in reality we were just too complex for them.
Steve KinningsEquitas General Manager
“[Payroll has] just always been kind of the stressful day of the week… I don't have that stress anymore, which is such a relief. I actually quite enjoy doing it now.
Amie KavanaghEquitas HR Administrator
