Tempus is Your New Payroll Manager + Software SuiteTempus is your new
payroll manager + software suite

We created a client-first way of working. Look what happened.

We believe that you have more profitable things to do with your time than payroll, but traditional outsourced payroll was still high risk and expensive.

Tempus runs your payroll in a way that de-risks the process and achieves a cost benefit.

Tempus Is So Much More Than Just Software.

Process: The "New Operator" Model

  • Stop being vulnerable to a single staff member holding your payroll knowledge hostage; Tempus is your permanent, professional operator.
  • Switching is painless - we extract data from your old system and verify balances so Day 1 is perfect.
  • While software calculates, our humans diagnose. We look for the "why" behind the numbers to ensure they make sense.

Integrations: Bespoke Data Ecosystem

  • We don't just "push" data to your accountant; we verify the compliance of the data before it ever touches your General Ledger.
  • Import data seamlessly from popular POS, Project Management, or Inventory tool - even if they don't have a standard API.
  • If your software is niche and "doesn't talk to payroll," our bespoke integration team builds the bridge for you.

Software: End-to-End Control

  • Move from rostering to timesheet approval in a single, unbroken digital flow.
  • Effortlessly handle varying rates of pay, allowances, and site/time-specific premiums without manual spreadsheets.
  • If your business has unique "grandfathered" contracts or specific industry rules, our software is typically flexible enough to handle these.

Hardware: The Physical Connection

  • As soon as an employee clocks in on-site, the data is live in your payroll dashboard for real-time labour monitoring.
  • We ship pre-configured hardware that works out of the box - no complex IT setup required. Simply plug-n-play.
  • Our leased hardware includes full support, maintenance, and regular technology upgrades.

Automations: Productivity Unlocked

  • Receive SMS and email notifications the second a pay run is ready for your final review.
  • Termination calculations - including leave and bespoke termination payments - are calculated and then manually verified for 100% accuracy.
  • Our bespoke diagnostic tool stress-tests historical work patterns for Public Holiday compliance, catching nuances that standard automation misses.

Legislation: Peace of Mind

  • Never blindly trust "automated" compliance; a Tempus specialist reviews every single pay run for legislative logic.
  • We are already re-engineering for the future shift to hour-based leave accruals.
  • If the IRD or MBIE has questions about your payroll, Tempus can act as your first line of defence and expert representative.

Let the Results Speak for Themselves.

We knew that software alone is not enough - we needed the best operator too. Tempus was recommended by people whose opinion we take very seriously. It's reassuring to know that payroll is sorted and there's an entire team available when we need more. We get to talk to real people - not bots - who know our business and can give us a solution.

Aaron Pringle Director, Pringle Homes

Our business needed new payroll software, but Tempus took us one step further. We now use Tempus timeclocking which automatically feeds into timesheets for approval and payment. We thought that upgrading would be a lot of hard work, but the Tempus team made everything so easy. It's been a great move for my business and I would recommend them to any other business owner.

Lance O'Sullivan Director, Wexford Stables

Time is valuable for every member of my team; I want them doing what they're best at and what they enjoy. We gave our payroll to Tempus because they can do it faster and better than we could. One of the biggest reliefs is not having to worry whether my payroll person might call in sick. What I like most about Tempus is their approach: if we have a problem they'll get it sorted for us.

Matt Cossey Director, Mr. Property Services

Like every trades business, we needed to solve a variety of challenges that come with paying our team. We had outsourced our payroll in the past but Tempus is a huge improvement. Tempus helps us with almost everything; from timesheets right through to complex deductions.
