Does BetterDesks process payroll?

No. BetterDesks does not process payroll directly. It prepares and exports reviewed timesheet data and stores payroll documents, but payroll processing stays in your payroll system or with your payroll provider.

Detailed answer

BetterDesks does not calculate net pay, issue paycheques, submit payroll taxes, or manage statutory deductions. The app is focused on workforce operations before payroll: scheduling, attendance, timesheet calculation, review, approval, export, and document storage.

For payroll preparation, BetterDesks can calculate raw worked minutes, rounded worked minutes, break minutes, payable minutes, and hours worked. Timesheet rows can then be exported for review or use in your payroll process.

Payroll documents are separate from payroll processing. Admins can upload paystubs, T4s, and W-2s for employees to access, subject to country/document rules and visibility settings.

Example

A company uses BetterDesks to collect attendance and approve timesheets. At the end of the pay period, payroll exports reviewed time data from BetterDesks and completes payroll in its existing payroll system.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks makes payroll preparation cleaner, but it is not a payroll provider. It gives your payroll team better inputs without replacing the system that calculates and runs payroll.
