Greenshades Time & Attendance
Settle every hour before the run
Web, mobile, or kiosk clock-ins, tagged by department and location. Exceptions get resolved before period end and approved hours go straight to payroll.
The platform
Built for workforces that don't fit one schedule
-
Time tracking
Capture time anywhere
Give employees ways to clock in that match how they actually work. Employees can record time easily whether they're at a job site, facility, office, or somewhere in between.
-
Payroll integration
Connect time to payroll
Move approved timesheets directly into the pay run. Payroll starts with approved data already in the system, eliminating manual handoff before employees get paid.
-
Overtime calculation
Handle complex calculations
Apply overtime and double time rules automatically, including the standard 40-hour workweek, the 8/80 rule, and custom daily or weekly thresholds set by pay group. Blended overtime is calculated automatically.
-
Shift differentials
Apply differentials automatically
Configure shift differential schedules once and apply them automatically based on when employees work. The correct differential follows the employee's time into payroll.
-
Admin oversight
Catch time issues quickly
Surface missing punches and unapproved timesheets before they become payroll corrections. Managers can review exceptions, edit timesheets, and resolve problems before approving time for payroll.
-
Time approvals
Speed up approvals
Give managers one place to review and approve employee time. Handle individual or bulk approvals, edit timesheets when needed, and delegate responsibilities so approvals keep moving.
-
Time off accruals
Keep balances in check
Configure accrual policies by time-off code and let employees submit requests through self-service. Once approved, time off posts automatically, keeping balances, time records, and payroll connected.
-
Holiday hours
Set holiday schedules
Set holiday schedules for different employee groups and post eligible holiday hours to timesheets. Your team doesn't have to manually enter the same holiday hours employee by employee.
Built to fit in
Workforce management that fits your stack
Our integrations cover the major ERPs, ATS, time & attendance tools, and more. If your setup is more particular, our open API lets your team connect anything else. Adding Greenshades never means replacing the systems you depend on.
Connected data
Time data doesn't stop at the timesheet
Time and labor management doesn't sit in its own silo. Every clock-in, approval, and time-off request connects to the rest of the platform automatically.
Payroll
Run complex, multi-state payroll in-house, with hours, deductions, and new-hire details already in the run so every check is right the first time.
- Direct deposit and printed checks
- Blended overtime and shift differentials
- Garnishments managed right in the pay run
Benefits
Employees enroll and update coverage through self-service, and every election carries through to deductions and ACA reporting without re-entry.
- Open enrollment and life-event changes
- Real-time access to benefit options
- ACA dashboard tracks eligibility all year
Onboarding
New hires complete their paperwork online before day one, and their details carry into payroll, benefits, and tax setup automatically.
- Guided I-9 and E-Verify completion
- W-4, state tax, and direct deposit setup
- E-signature with a timestamped audit trail
Tax & compliance
Federal, state, and local taxes are calculated, filed, and deposited in every jurisdiction your people work in, with alerts before each deadline.
- 941, SUTA, and local quarterly returns
- Reciprocity applied across state lines
- Alerts ahead of every filing deadline
Year-end forms
W-2s, 1099s, and 1095-Cs are generated from the data you ran all year and verified before filing, so January isn't a rebuild.
- Print, mail, and e-file in one workflow
- Employees get forms on web or mobile
- E-file yourself or have us submit for you
Don't take our word for it
