Frequently asked questions.

Payroll Connect is available to all TimeTac customers at no extra cost and can be used together with an accountant or external payroll partner.

Payroll Connect is not a separate payroll software – it’s an integrated extension of TimeTac. It connects time tracking and payroll digitally with your accountant or external payroll partner.

When HR and payroll run through one shared system, a seamless process emerges: work hours, absences and changes are transferred automatically, tasks are managed clearly and payslips are made available directly in your TimeTac account.

The result is collaboration that’s simpler, more accurate and significantly more efficient – without additional tools or complex integrations.

No, accountants do not need their own TimeTac account to use Payroll Connect. The only requirement is that their client uses TimeTac for time tracking and has activated Payroll Connect for their accountant.

In Payroll Connect, collaboration is task-based. HR can create new tasks, and all parties communicate directly through the integrated chat function within each task. This keeps all messages in the right context.

Payroll Connect automatically creates new tasks when relevant changes occur and notifies the payroll partner by email and in the app. Notifications can be configured individually.

Payroll Connect is suited to businesses that manage payroll together with an accountant or external payroll partner and want to reduce coordination overhead.

Those who benefit most:

  • HR teams with regular onboarding and offboarding
  • Companies with multiple employees and variable pay structures
  • Organizations with high requirements for data quality and traceability
  • Businesses looking to manage payroll processes digitally with a full audit trail

With Payroll Connect, you manage payroll directly from your TimeTac data – no email chains, no manual data handoffs.

  • Significant time savings on monthly payroll
  • Fewer errors thanks to accurate and complete data
  • Clear ownership and transparent task workflows
  • Payslips automatically made available in your TimeTac account

Payroll Connect and TimeTac communicate via a secured API connection created and authorised by a TimeTac admin. This connection can be deactivated at any time.

Data is transferred encrypted via HTTPS, and access is managed through personal user accounts with secure passwords. Sensitive data stays protected at all times.

Payroll Connect AI assists with the automatic detection and classification of documents and the analysis of relevant content.

Only the data necessary for each task is processed. Communication takes place via secure API connections, and no data is stored on the AI server after analysis. The feature can be deactivated at any time.
