Timesheets, Rostering & Payroll

Most timesheet software stops at recording hours. You then export a CSV, upload it into a separate payroll product, and hope nothing got lost between the two. OneBookPlus keeps the whole chain in one place: a staff member clocks in and out at the kiosk on your counter, the shift becomes a timesheet, the timesheet becomes a pay run, and the pay run calculates PAYG withholding, superannuation at the legislated 12% and leave to Australian rules. No export step, no re-keying, and no gap between the hours worked and the hours paid.

Because the app runs inside OneBookPlus, wage costs land in the same books as your invoices and expenses. Your margins already include labour, without a month-end spreadsheet to stitch payroll onto the rest of the business.

Time tracking only works if staff do it, so the clock-in flow is deliberately simple. You leave a tablet, a spare phone or the shop computer on the counter showing your clock-in page. Your team taps their name, types a 4-digit PIN, and they are on. On the way out they tap their name again and enter their break. Nobody needs a login, an app or a password of their own, which is what makes it stick in a bakery, a cafe or a salon where the whole team is on the floor. Timesheets generate themselves from the punches, so the Friday-afternoon ritual of chasing paper timesheets or deciphering a group chat disappears.

It suits casual and part-time workforces in particular: hospitality shifts that change weekly, retail staff across locations, and trade crews that start on site rather than at the office.

The weekly roster builder is drag and drop: set up your shifts, drop staff onto them, and publish so everyone sees their week on their phone. When the roster meets reality, the timesheets show the difference between planned and actual hours, and pay runs apply penalty rates and overtime rather than paying every hour at the flat rate.

Leave is managed in the same place (annual, sick and personal), so a roster never quietly schedules someone who is on approved leave, and accruals carry through to payslips.

Pay runs process in one click: PAYG withholding follows the ATO schedules, super calculates at 12% (the legislated rate from 1 July 2025), and penalty rates, overtime and deductions are applied automatically. Payslips generate for every employee to email or download, and an ABA file exports for your bank so nobody re-keys account numbers on payday. Super is calculated and recorded against its quarterly due date, with a screen to mark it paid once you have sent it to the funds.

One thing this app does not do is lodge Single Touch Payroll. Pay events are not sent to the ATO from OneBookPlus, so you still report each pay run through STP-enabled software. For $29 per month it brings the roster builder, the time-tracking app and Australian pay runs into one add-on.
